Trust God, Prayer Champions

Prayer Champions, trust God! God wants us to have unmovable faith and confidence in His ability and willingness to provide for us.  We are not to be choked by the cares of the world and plagued by anxiety and fear about what we do not have. Worry is the opposite of faith and causes one to fret about problems that seem impossible rather than grasping GOD’S divine care.  Matthew 6:27a states, “And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?...”* Not only is worry unproductive, but worry takes one’s focus away from serving GOD and places it squarely on oneself.  Worry is a waste of energy that accomplishes nothing but unbelief, doubt and fear.  Worry places undo stress upon the body which can lead to all types of physical and mental health issues.  Additionally, worry can rob one of much needed rest causing acute bouts of insomnia. From this point forward, let’s live an anxiety-free life!  JESUS said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
