Don’t Worry, Pray Instead
Luke 12:27 (NKJV)
“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
Devoción
Do you realize how deeply God cares for you? When you abide in Him, strongholds are torn down, and diseases can even be reversed when you call upon His name. You're connecting with the Great Physician, Jesus, the only one who can bring true healing.
If God can tenderly care for the lilies in the field, His ability to care for you and your concerns far exceeds that. You are likened to the lily or bride of Christ, and He has pledged to attend to your every need. When your focus rests on Him and His word, everything else falls naturally into place. So instead of worrying, pray earnestly and pour out your heart to Him.
Worrying only leads to spinning in circles, achieving nothing. Pray and entrust the outcome to God. Remember, He alone can help you if you allow Him to. The key lies in surrendering the situation into His hands and resisting the urge to take it back. Refrain from spinning in circles or worrying, and simply find rest in Him—like a lily in a field, hands wide open, fully at rest.

Querido Padre Celestial,
I thank You for Jesus' loving words of care and concern. I confess I too often walk by sight – the clothes in my closet, the food in my pantry, the money in the account, the bills to be paid. Forgive me for my worry, my labor and my spinning. I often speak the platitudes, but my faith is halfhearted. Lord, I believe. Help me overcome my unbelief. Grow my faith, Lord. By Your Holy Spirit, speak to my heart what You will do for me and grow my faith. In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

What are you anxious about? When a wave of anxiety passes over you, present the matter to God in prayer, and be thankful as you do so (Philippians 4:6). Practice this and it will become a good habit and a weapon against fear and the accuser.
