"Do NOT be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the PEACE of God, which transcends all understanding, will GUARD your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
This scripture is true🔥
Here's How To Deal With Worrying - “Try dey enjoy, problem no dey finish.”
The first time I heard this proverb presented in the Nigerian street parlance, I laughed my heart out and muttered, "Nigerians are at it again."
Thinking about it, I want to ask, have you ever been plagued with WORRY? How did it feel? Were you able to do anything? Was your heart rested? I'm sure your experience was awful.
I found a hack I'm sure would work for you, Phillipians 4:6-7. THIS VERSE IS POWERFUL! (I'm legit screaming). Pray, praise, tell God what's up giving thanks while at it.
I tried it sometimes this week and it worked. The kind of peace that flooded my heart is not something I think I can explain. My God!
Even if you're worried to a point you can't even pray, still, try to stay. Sing, dance, cry if you must, but stay.
That is when you will realize how it is that God can exchange your burdens for peace.
The problem might still be there, but fam, you will begin to see God with you, the peace will so bless your heart that you will begin to see a way out. You will begin to see just solutions.
Have I mentioned that the only way you can "enjoy" even in the midst of problems is having God on your boat? Fam, no material thing can give it to you, none.
What's the point of worrying though? It even further afflicts your heart and gives you panic attack over vanity.
Never forget, peace is not the absence of struggle, it's the presence of God.
As this understanding rests in your heart, drop a song in the comments. This week and beyond, we praise through the storm. Gloryyy🔥
I had a friend that said their mind, only when telling a joke. They didn't know that I'm God's baby girl and in turn God's paddy. He highlighted the seemingly "meaningless" lines to me as though with a bold marker.
They'd want to express some jealousy, but they'd do it in the form of a joke and for every time they did, I could discern what exactly they intended to say, and that was because I had made a simple but sincere prayer to God.
It went like, "Lord, please I don't want to find myself living Psalm 1:1." God did not only answer my prayer but also gave me the ability to make the right choices and the necessary tools that I needed to do that—The gift of Discernment.
Sometimes, God’s intentionality about us shows in really random things. There are times you have a thought/desire you didn’t even pray about, & you just come across it on your social media or somewhere you weren’t expecting. A God who hears our WORDS and HEARTS. We stan 🙌
There are lovers that listen to every words you utter and grant your desires. Then there’s that lover who not only pays attention to your words, but to your heart too... He listens to every of your unsaid words and satisfies you, how refreshing to know!
The times you craved for shawarma and got it without asking,
The times you needed money and someone just asked for your account number (out of the blues. Lol)
The times you needed a friend and he sent someone to love you... I mean, you remember those times, don’t you?
Sis, You Said No To Him Already, So Why Are You Still Monitoring His Life?
Why are you stalking him, really? Why are you checking his social media to see if he has the picture of another lady? You already said you weren’t interested, so why?
I’m talking to you my dear, why so bothered? Why do you still look out for him at events or gatherings? Oh, I get it, the Bible tells you to be your brother’s keeper, so you’re trying to do your part innit? Lmao!
I’m not done... why does your stomach knot when you see him talking to another lady? What’s the challenge? I mean, the young gentleman met you and spoke to you about his interest, you said no,
