Bible Verses:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27
Cast your burden on the Lord,
And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 55:22
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.

Devotion:
Sometimes we spend a lot of time worrying. Anxiety and worry consume our minds and if we are not careful can control our lives. God as not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Most of the time the things we worry about don't even end up happening and are just a waste of our time. I had that experience recently. I was really worried about a situation, and experienced a lot of anxiety about it...and then it never happened.
God is calling us to trust Him, to give Him control. When we worry we are just taking back in to our own hands what we should be committing to God. He is our loving Father and He wants to give us His peace, but we need to surrender to Him.
Call out to Him today! His arms are open and ready to carry you. His love for you is unending, and He cares about every detail of your life.
Shalom to You,
