Don't Fret

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ([a]definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.Philippians 4:6 NIV Bible Gateway

Are you able to get away or just simply sit on a porch or patio and watch birds. Probably if you aren’t in a high rise in NYC. 

My goal is to get you focused on the simple pleasures and joys of life and not to beat you down or make you feel bad. Right now I am watching two robins chirping back and forth to each other. An occasional humming bird zips into and out of the yard. I can hear a neighbors American flag flapping in the breeze on its high pole. 

Do what you can with what you have on your surroundings to have calm. Perhaps no electronics. Lie down and just take slow deep breaths. Think of things that make you happy. Let God have the rest. 

PRAYER: Today is the day you have made and I need to stand and rejoice and not get fretful. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
