Don't worry or fret...

‎~ Philippians 4:6 (MSG), "Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns." 

~ It can be SO easy to start fretting and worrying about things when things don't go how we think they should or things don't happen as quickly as we think they should. But, one thing that we must always remember...God's timing is better than ours. There IS a reason that things don't always go our way. Remember, He has a plan. And, His plan will bring us hope and victory. And, lots of time He is testing us and trying to teach us a valuable lesson. So, don't fret or worry. Trust His timing. Let your requests be coupled with praise and let them begin to shape those worries into prayers. He IS concerned about every detail of your life. Why do think He such taken careful planning to have a tailor-made plan for your life? Because He loves you and wants to see you prosper and grow in Him.  Jeremiah 29:11 (MSG) says, " I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out - plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for."
