Don't Fret Yourself About Anything
1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 55:22

Philippians 4:6 "Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."" The Word of God teaches that God's will for us is to live a stress-free, anxiety free lives. God is our heavenly Father and He is big enough to cater for us. This is the reason we need not be anxious for anything. Therefore, anxiety is a show of lack of confidence in God's ability to cater for His own. God is our burden Bearer. He wants to take care of us; He wants to bear our burdens, if only we will cast them on Him. It is evident that God wants to father us; He desires to sustain us because He loves us. God made us with the capacity to trust Him for our daily provisions. In fact, we trust God for a living. That's what we do for a living. Our heavenly Father takes care of the birds of the air (Matt.6:28-34). He is so magnanimous that His graciousness is mouth-opening. Beloved, you are more valuable than the birds of the air. Let your heart rest in His love for you. He is able and more than able to cater for you. Therefore, cast your burdens (cares, anxieties, worries) upon Him and He shall sustain you. Do not let your cares weigh you down. Why? They are not to be borne by you, in the first place. Pray your burdens over to the Lord, and He will take care of you (1Peter5:7).

Other Scriptures for Meditation: Matthew 10:29-31; 2 Corinthians 3:5

My Solid Front (Confession)
In the Name of Jesus, I believe in God's love for me, therefore I cast all my cares, concerns and worries on him and I refuse to fret about anything. Amen.
