Be Not Anxious
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” — Colossians 3:16
Christians are to rejoice. To do that, we need only to think of the great things God has done for us. Then we're told not to be anxious, but in our prayers to make our requests known to God. In our biggest problems we have One to whom we can go; and before Him we can pour out our hearts with the assurance that He will not leave us without an answer to that great problem. Then we are to fill our minds with those things that are good. They are mentioned in the Scriptures as being things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and of virtue. It is upon these things that we are to think. Live positively, not negatively. Once we learn that secret, God will have given us the victory.
