TROUBLES--How do you handle it???

Good morning everyone!!! What a great day in the Lord Jesus Christ!! GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!!!! Wow!!! Can you imagine how people without Jesus face troubles?? They may take it in stride, they may scream, holler, cuss, throw things, be violent!! How do you react to troubles??
Matthew 6:34 Jesus said, "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
WORRY--our doubts about our abilities, uncertainty about others' feeling toward us, anxieties about what might happen in the future--- they become like coils around us and squeeze the energy and hope out of us. The more we struggle the tighter the coils become.
We have two weapons: perspective and peace. Paul, the apostle, instructed fellow believers to be anxious for nothing. Paul was in prison where he was beaten, in chains, and separated from those he loved. Also, he had some type of thorn in the flesh and experienced physical pain. The asked God many time to cure him of the pain...God's answer here was NO!
Paul's perspective was in the right place, he knew what was truly important. He knew God loved him and had a plan for his life!! How is your perspective????
Nothing is greater...no, not one of our worries is greater than being loved purely and eternally by Almighty God and being made clean from all of your sins!!!
Nothing we face it too difficult, troubling or frightening for God. God is awake and on the job all the time!! Let God turn worry into victory and rejoice. Here are some ideas for fighting off worry: 1. Maintain a positive, hopeful outlook about life, regardless of circumstances; 2. turn worry time into good prayer time; 3. avoid worrying about things that are beyond my control; 4. share my worries with God and trust him to guide you ghrough these times; 5. reach out to people who worry, helping them deal with the trials they face.
Psalm 31:19 "How great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which you have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons of men!"
Thanks for reading, a little long, Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
