The Daily Guide
Have a better day
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down.
Philippians 4:6-7 - The Message
You can't deal with or get your head around everything that presents itself to you. The scripture above gives you essential counsel. In summary, it says, "Keep releasing yourself from anxiety by letting God know your requests." You have to commit all things to the Lord. You have to get it all into God's hands early. He can then point out to you items you'll be able to handle in His grace and He'll say, "Leave the rest with me, I'll take care of them!" Heb.13:6.
Here's a key to a happier life - reduce each day to its simplest terms by letting God get involved in everything about it. There are only a few things you can give your proper attention therefore pour out your heart to God and roll your cares on Him. Roll your burdens over on Him and He'll sustain you. By making requests to God let your heart and mind find a place of rest in Him. Then look to the Lord and ask, "What tasks should I take up today as my priority tasks to do in Your wisdom and power?" Ps.62:8, 1Pet.5:7, Ps.55:22
Faith in God should mean you can trust Him to take care of everything that would otherwise make your day too burdensome or your thoughts too crowded. There are a lot of things you shouldn't be trying to handle today or even be thinking about. Your day can be better than you ever dreamt! You need to entrust your tasks and thoughts to the Lord.
Live in trust so you can work in rest!
