Eyin temi,
Welcome to a new week. I hope you had a wonderful weekend with family and friends or alone.
I was praying yesterday and after trying to form the words of my request, I broke down and told God how afraid I was; afraid that he won’t give it to me, afraid that I would end up making past mistakes and getting hurt, afraid of my choice. My fear was real. I thought it would choke me.
Then I heard a faint whisper of ‘read Philippians 4’. I paused to read and when I got to verse 6-9 I knew I was afraid for nothing
Philippians 4:6-9 NLT reads
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me-everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.
I won’t say I’m totally in the clear about my fears (I want to be honest with you guys) but I trust God to give me peace as I tell him about my fears and I want to try (as much as possible) to fix my mind on positive thoughts and things. There is too much bad news in the world right now that it may be hard to do so but I think we all should consciously form a habit of speaking positively and thinking positively.
I wish you all a week filled with positive and peaceful thoughts and words
