This week on Ministry Minute, we delve into a brand new message entitled “Stop Wasting Time.” We talk about the urgency of getting right with God, emphasizing that tomorrow isn't promised and it's time to fully surrender to Jesus. We discuss the necessity of repentance by turning away from our sin, and the importance of locking in 100% with Christ, referencing Matthew 4:17 and the need for transformation. We encourage viewers to let go of anything pulling them away from God, highlighting that surrendering to Jesus is the only way to eternal life. #JesusLovesYou #Repentance #MinistryMinuteStop Wasting Time | Ministry Minute EP324Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life. THAT'S REAL LOVE. THAT'S JESUS' LOVE. In order to receive this forgiveness you must confess and repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ into your heart which you can do by saying this prayer wholeheartedly:Dear God,I confess and admit that I am a sinner, and I ask that You please forgive me and save me. I renounce and repent of all my sins, iniquities, and transgressions, both known and unknown. I confess that Jesus, You are LORD, and I believe with all my heart that You died and rose again. I put my complete faith in Your finished works on the cross and I believe because of Your Blood that was shed, my sins can be forgiven. I ask that You be the Head of my life and the LORD of my life from this day forward, and I ask that You please help me to live for You all the days of my life.In Jesus Name I Pray,Amen.I'm Saved, What's Next:- Be Baptized In Jesus Name- Be Filled With The Holy Ghost- Live A Holy LifeJesus Is Soon To Return— BE READY!!#Christianity #Christian #Jesus #Bible #God #Faith #JesusChrist #Church #love #Bibleverse #Gospel #prayer #HolySpirit #Godisgood #pray #biblestudy #Scripture #hope #truth #religion #JesusLovesYou #worship #grace #JesusSaves #amen #blessed #Christianlivinghttps://www.joshuahopkinsstudios.com/productions/ministryminute

This week on Ministry Minute, we delve into a brand new message entitled “We Have To Make Up Our Mind.” We talk about the most important decision that we can make in life—accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We acknowledge our sins and shortcomings, and emphasize the need for God's grace, mercy, and love. We share Isaiah 1:18 and Romans 10:9, urging viewers to respond to God's call now, as salvation is found only in Christ Jesus. #JesusLovesYou #Salvation #MinistryMinuteWe Have To Make Up Our Mind | Ministry Minute EP323Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life.

Just had to ask.. after all the crap I’m seein

Our Summer in the Cities tour follows the highway south to Nashville, where neon honky tonks, studio doors and back porches blur the line between everyday life and song. Don and Dude drop the needle on two Nashville born records that carry the city's twang, storytelling swagger and late night barroom heart in every riff and chorus.The AlbumsDolly Parton – Coat of Many Colors (1971)Dolly Parton turns early 70s Nashville country into a warm, story driven set about childhood, family, faith and finding dignity when money is scarce. Live band arrangements, clear melodies and her unmistakable voice keep the focus on intimate narratives, from the patchwork pride of the title track to gentle hymns to nature and community that show how a Smoky Mountain girl became one of Nashville's defining storytellers.Kings of Leon – Youth and Young Manhood (2003)Kings of Leon crash the early 2000s garage rock revival with a scruffy Southern slant, bashing out raw guitar tunes steeped in bar band grit and Pentecostal raised intensity. Close mic'd guitars, crowded room sonics and loose, unpolished performances make Youth and Young Manhood feel like a small club set, the sound of a Nashville family band kicking the doors open on the wider rock conversation.Diggin AlbumsThe Pretty Reckless – Dear God (2026)Taylor Momsen and company lean into heavy, grunge tinged hard rock on Dear God, pairing towering choruses and dark, faith questioning lyrics with modern arena ready production for a cathartic, emotionally charged listen.Jeff the Brotherhood – We Are The Champions (2011)Nashville duo Jeff the Brotherhood sharpen their fuzzed out garage attack into hooky, punk driven rock, mixing crunchy riffs, DIY spirit and oddball humor on a set that helped cement their cult favorite status.Muse – The Wow! Signal (2026)English trio Muse return to cosmic, sci fi soaked rock on The Wow! Signal, blending big riffs, industrial textures and sleek electronics while folding in outside voices like Ellie Goulding without losing their maximalist identity.Pixies – Complete B Sides: 1988–97 (remastered 2026)Pixies' remastered collection of non album cuts and single flips brings their loud quiet dynamics and surreal storytelling back into focus, with fresh vinyl sound and extra live material underscoring how deep their alt rock influence runs.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back.“I belonged to Nashville before I belonged to anyone.” – Brandi Carlile

This week on Ministry Minute, we delve into a brand new message entitled “The Kingdom Life.” We talk about the importance of seeking God's kingdom first, as stated in Matthew 6:33, and living a kingdom-centered life. We discuss the struggle between the flesh and the spirit, emphasizing the need to lean on God rather than our own understanding. #JesusLovesYou #Kingdom #MinistryMinuteThe Kingdom Life | Ministry Minute EP322Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life.

In this episode of Unashamed Unafraid, Austin shares how keeping a small journal of unfiltered “Dear God” letters for six months became a record of his recovery, transformed his relationship with God, improved communication with his wife, and supported about four months of sobriety. He describes feeling prompted to write “I'm a porn addict in recovery. Ask me anything.” on a poster board and sit at Utah Valley University; after three hours, one student approached, discussed shame and feeling unlovable, and later asked to keep talking. Sam connects this to his own prayer for guidance to expand the platform, then joins Austin in Salt Lake City near City Creek Mall to hold the sign with Austin, where several strangers engage in meaningful conversations. They discuss de-shaming addiction, the most common question they received, and invite listeners to try writing letters to God and email Sam to get involved.Make a donation and become an Outsider!Follow us on social media!

This week on Ministry Minute, we delve into a brand new message entitled “You Are Fighting From A Place Of Victory.” We talk about finding strength and victory through faith in Christ, no matter what challenges you're facing in your life. We share biblical truths from 2 Corinthians 2:14 and Galatians 6:9, reminding you not to give up, to stay anchored in God's word, and to trust that victory already belongs to you in Christ. #JesusLovesYou #Victory #MinistryMinuteYou Are Fighting From A Place Of Victory | Ministry Minute EP321Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon NotesFatherhood Revealed: The Biblical Story1. Old Testament FoundationsIsrael as God's “son” (Exodus 4:22–23)Covenant identity: treasured possession (Deuteronomy 14:1–2)Metaphor of formation: God as potter, Father (Isaiah 64:8)Yet: limited use, reverence and distance remainRare usage suggests something still unfolding:  "there remains throughout the Old Testament a certain reserve about the father metaphor for God. There are nearly half a million words in the Hebrew Bible, yet God is only portrayed as a father some 15 times. It is almost as if these rare instances of the God of Israel being called (or calling Himself) 'father' are placeholders, awaiting some unforeseen future revelation that will cause them to take on a new resonance." Wesley Hill, The Lord's Prayer: A Guide to Praying to Our Father (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2019), 11.Jewish hesitation to speak of God as “Father”2. Jesus brings greater revelationJesus in the Gospel of John: “my Father” → then extends to “your Father”In Matthew alone: “your Father” repeated constantlyFatherhood is not metaphorical projection—it is revealed truth made accessible in Christ.Three Blessings of Knowing God as Father1. It teaches us the GospelPost-resurrection clarity: John 20:17 — “My Father and your Father”Galatians 4:4–7We are not naturally children of God in relational sense, but enemiesWe are adopted through Christ's redemption - God's grace makes former enemies into beloved children“No longer slaves, but sons” = full inheritance rightsIdentity is secured by grace, not performanceEven on bad days, we are not disownedSpirit enables “Abba, Father” prayer“Abba” = intimate, real relational address, even used by adult children for their dadsJesus himself uses this in GethsemaneEvery “Our Father” prayer is a gospel confession2. We come to him boldlyIllustration: child (son) bringing soldier to Abraham LincolnHebrews 10:19–22 — confidence to enter the holy placeLord's Prayer assumes boldness (imperative-like petitions):Hallowed be Your nameYour kingdom comeYour will be doneWe are not interrupting God—we are invited children3. We come to him calmlyContrast: pagan prayer = anxious repetitionJesus: “Your Father knows what you need before you ask” (Matthew 6:8)Children of a good father are not frantic for provisionAnxiety often reveals relational distrustKnowing the Father produces calm dependenceDiscussion Questions1. When you pray, how do you typically address God? Dear God, Lord, Jesus? Do you think it matters? Is there any advantage of directing our prayers specifically to "our Father?"2. Recap how relating to God as Father shows us the gospel.3. If someone has experienced a difficult relationship with an earthly father, would it be better to relate to God in some other way besides "Father?"4. If the Father already knows our needs, why come to him in prayer?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon? Email Randy Forrester ().

This week on Ministry Minute, we delve into a brand new message entitled “Who Are You Looking To?” We talk about the importance of looking to Jesus in times of struggle and hardship. Drawing from Psalm 141:8, we encourage you to place your trust in Jesus rather than turning to temporary vices and worldly solutions. We discuss how God knows what you're going through, and regardless of what you may be struggling with, He will never leave you nor forsake you. #JesusLovesYou #Trust #MinistryMinuteWho Are You Looking To? | Ministry Minute EP320Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life.

New audio prayers that aren’t in the book

I grew up as an only child. My parents took me to most of the places that they went, but I remember one time they left me home by myself. I was home alone. (You know, maybe somebody could make a movie about that someday.) Well, anyway, we lived in this third floor apartment on the south side of Chicago. It was getting very late. I was sitting near the back door waiting and they should have been home by now. I was worried. I remember hearing sirens and I thought, “Oh, no!” Okay, my imagination went crazy; it was taking me all over the place. I was thinking of all the bad things that might have happened to my parents. I was already there and then the sirens came. I was sure the sirens were for my mommy and my daddy, but they weren't. But the fear I had that night was so great (how about this?) - I still remember it don't I? I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You today about “Never Home Alone.” Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Romans 8, beginning with verse 37. You probably know this fear of abandonment that I had that night. That's not unique to me, or even to a child. I'm thinking of a friend of ours who struggled her whole life with the fear of abandonment. She was left by her parents a lot because they were in mission work and there were a lot of “goodbyes” and she was always vulnerable to some bad choices because she was always afraid that she'd lose what she loved and what loved her. All right, Romans 8:37, referring to the most dangerous things that could happen to you in your life, “In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced (boy, here's the best news you might have ever heard) that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future (boy, this has got everything covered!), nor any powers, neither height nor depth (and that's like just in case I've forgotten anything), neither anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” This is where God promises one unloseable relationship. God created us to anchor ourselves to one relationship. The problem is that every other relationship on earth is losable. I think of the night when my wife was almost dying from hepatitis, and we weren't sure she'd make it. And I knelt by her bed and I said, “Dear God, please spare her.” And I thank Him that He did spare her life. But that night I almost lost the one relationship I thought would never leave me. She said she would never choose to leave and I would never choose to leave her, but you know what? There come those times when the choice is out of our hands. One day that choice did come and now she's in Heaven and I'm still here. See, you need a relationship you can't lose, and you can't take Jesus away. He will not leave you—ever. He is the unloseable one. Any human love I receive, well, that's a welcome bonus, but my identity is supposed to be knowing Jesus. So, do you know Him? See, life is never secure until you belong to Christ. That begins the day you get your sin erased by putting your faith in what Jesus did when he died on the cross for that sin and then you're in His arms to stay. Nothing in heaven, nothing on earth, nothing in hell can take you away from Him. You've had your sins forgiven. The only thing that will keep you out of God's heaven is gone because you've put your trust in the One who died to remove those sins—Jesus, His One and only Son who's alive because He walked out of His grave. He can walk into your life today. He said, “I will never leave you or forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). And you decide whether that relationship ever begins, and you decide when it begins. Let it be today. Tell Him, “Jesus, I'm Yours.” You need to get to our website to find there everything you need to know to be sure you belong to Him. That website is ANewStory.com. The child in all of us hears the sirens. We imagine life without someone who loves us and we fear a future alone, and then Jesus steps in at your invitation and makes this awesome promise, “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20).

This week on Ministry Minute, we delve into a brand new message entitled “Don't Forfeit Your Promise.” We talk about the importance of not giving up on God's promises, even when life feels unbearable. We encourage you to stay faithful, obedient, and focused on seeking God's kingdom first, trusting that He will work things out for your good. #JesusLovesYou #Promise #MinistryMinuteDon't Forfeit Your Promise | Ministry Minute EP319Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life.

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ. . . . — 2 Corinthians 4:4 In this passage Paul speaks of people's minds being blinded by “the god of this age.” This is a reference to Satan, the devil, who is still very active in our world today.Has the god of this age, the devil, blinded you? I think an honest answer would be that although we can see the gift of the gospel, we can certainly be blinded by the devil's distractions and attractions today.For example, how about constant and malicious online stories about political opponents?How about porn? Looking at it may make you feel virile and powerful—for a short time. But it is not reality, and it is not God's will for our sexuality.How about scrolling through your favorite social media hour after hour? Too often we see only one side of the story in increasingly demeaning ways.How about false religion like the prosperity gospel, claiming God will make you wealthy if you just follow its teaching?How about “action movies,” in which people are killed or tortured in gruesome ways for entertainment?The god of this age is present in so many ways today, making all of these things seem normal and desirable. Most of these influences, and more, are also just updated versions of what people faced in Paul's day.Give your mind a break. Let the true gospel enlighten you. Dear God, so many influences today are used by the devil to lead us astray. Help us to reject the evil they present as if it were normal. In Jesus' name, Amen.

The word “trees” shows up more than 200 times in the Bible. Discover why it may not just be “the heavens that declare the glory of God” but also trees.Receive The Bible mentions trees more than 200 times throughout the Old and New Testament. From Genesis to Psalms to Matthew and into Revelation, it seems as though many significant theological events in the Bible are marked by a tree. As we consider the significance behind many of the trees included throughout Scripture, may we discover that not only do the heavens declare the glory of God, but so do trees. As we ponder the crucial role trees play in how the story of the Bible is told, let's look for God's fingerprints wherever we see a tree or a branch or a bush or a root or some kind of fruit mentioned in a passage. And as we notice the trees in our world a little more, may they help point us to God. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below.

This week on Ministry Minute, we delve into a groundbreaking message entitled “Respond With Love.” We discuss how, as believers, we must respond with love at all times, even when it's difficult, because people are watching how we represent Christ. We explore Matthew 5:44 and encourage forgiveness and emphasize that our response should always be rooted in love, and that by loving those who hurt us, we may open doors to minister to them about the love of Jesus. #JesusLovesYou #Love #MinistryMinuteRespond With Love | Ministry Minute EP315Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life.

The Bible is filled with feasts and tables set for God's people. Discover the significance of these meals and gatherings and why they still matter today.Receive God delights in setting a table for His people. From the last supper Jesus shared with His disciples before His sacrificial death to the meals He shared with His disciples after His glorious resurrection, there are various lovely moments of fellowship between Jesus and His followers recorded for us in Scripture. The early church also knew the importance of breaking bread together. As we consider the meals mentioned in the Old and New Testaments and the greatest wedding banquet that's still to come mentioned in Revelation, may we rejoice in knowing that God lovingly provides for our every need.   Reflect What do Matthew 9:9–13, Luke 19:1–10, and Luke 7:34 teach us about who is invited to the Lord's table? Why does Jesus' last supper with His disciples recorded in Matthew 26:17–30, Mark 14:12–26, Luke 22:7–23, and John 13–17 still matter to us today? Why did Jesus break bread with His disciples even after His resurrection as mentioned in Luke 24:30–32 and John 21:1–14?   In Acts 2:42–27 we read about the early church sharing meals together. Why would that have been so important to them?   Isaiah 61:10–62:5 and Revelation 19:6–9 point to the church being the bride of Christ and look ahead to Jesus' bridal banquet. How do these Bible verses help you understand how precious you are to God? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You for your love and faithfulness. Thank you for providing for my every need. Help me to trust You even more with every day that passes. Help me to live for You especially as the day of Your great bridal banquet approaches.”   Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: The Holy Land Series Listen: The Abundant God Sinners Dinners Read: The God Who Protects and Provides Humble Hearts, Open Hands Watch: Feast of Sukkah  Inviting Others to the Table

Whether it's in the Garden of Eden, Egypt, the wilderness, or a mountainside near the Sea of Galilee, God knows how to provide for His people. Let's learn about the tables and meals in Scripture.Receive How lovely that the story of God happens around tables. From the farm-to-table picnic of lavish eating in the Garden of Eden, to the “fast food,” rushed meal during the first Passover, to God's provision in the wilderness of heavenly food, on into the New Testament servings of a simple lunch to feed thousands, God delights in providing for His people. May we relish in knowing that God longs to fellowship with His people, including us, and a wonderful way He chooses to do so is to set a table for us. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below.

“Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” — Matthew 6:33 Did you play hide-and-seek as a child? I did, and I play it now with my grandchildren. (They are easy to find when they're under a blanket on the couch.)In our text for today Jesus talks about seeking God's kingdom and his righteousness as our first priority, our main goal in life. And when we do that, all of the things we need will be taken care of. The point here is not to wish us good luck in finding something well hidden. Rather, Jesus urges us to pursue God's will, placing his purposes first in our lives so that we may live as he calls us to.The good news is that God and his kingdom can be easily found. We can find God and his kingdom in the life of Christ and among believers who listen to God's Word and strive to live by it. They aim to live righteously by acting justly and with mercy for all people, as Jesus did.Jesus' teaching ministry can be summed up with these words: “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:15). God's kingdom is found in Jesus, who said, “Follow me” (Mark 1:17), and taught that he is the only way to God and his kingdom (John 14:6).If we don't have a specific destination, we will just wander. Christians know, as Jesus showed, that their ultimate destination is God and his kingdom. This is what we must aim for as we follow Jesus' teachings by the power of his Spirit. Dear God, may the aim of our thoughts and desires be toward you. May your Spirit help us to seek your kingdom first in all we think, say, and do. Amen.

This week on Ministry Minute, we present a groundbreaking message entitled “Turn Back.” We delve into the urgent call to repent of our sins and turn back to God. We explore Zechariah's message about repentance, acknowledging that we've all fallen short of God's perfect standard. However, we emphasize that no one is beyond God's forgiveness. We discuss the freedom found in Jesus Christ, His sacrifice on the cross for our sins, and the gift of salvation He offers to all who seek it. We encourage listeners to lay their struggles, addictions, and shame at Jesus' feet and embrace His grace to become a new creation. #JesusLovesYou #Repent #MinistryMinuteTurn Back | Ministry Minute EP313Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life.

Worry has a way of quietly filling the mind—about the future, finances, work, relationships, and everything in between. In Matthew 6:33–34, Jesus speaks directly into that pressure, not by dismissing our concerns, but by redirecting our focus. Instead of being consumed by tomorrow, He invites us to seek God first today and trust Him with what’s ahead. Freedom from worry isn’t about never feeling anxious thoughts—it’s about learning where to place them. Jesus teaches that life is lived one day at a time, with God as our provider and guide. When we shift our focus from what we can’t control to the One who holds everything together, worry begins to lose its grip. Peace grows when trust becomes our daily response. Highlights Worry is common—but it doesn’t have to control your life Jesus doesn’t shame worry; He redirects our focus Seeking God first reshapes how we handle anxiety about tomorrow Living one day at a time helps reduce mental overwhelm Prayer is a practical way to release anxious thoughts to God Filling your mind with truth helps quiet spiraling thoughts Peace grows when trust in God becomes your default response Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: The Desire to Be Free from WorryBy Vivian Bricker Bible Reading:“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” - Matthew 6:33-34 (NLT) Worry weighs heavily on most of us. Tight deadlines at work, endless tests in college, and difficult financial situations can cause us to worry. To worry is to be human. Although many of us may feel ashamed for worrying, we must remember that it is a part of life. We can trust God and still feel worried about certain circumstances. Worry does not equate to a lack of faith in God. Rather, worry is simply what it is: being afraid or doubtful about what will happen. Worry can completely control our lives if we let it; however, we can also stand up to it. My dad and I are avid walkers, and we often come across many cyclists. What I have noticed about most cyclists is that their biggest concern is speed. Many of them ride with a forward lean, as it helps them become more aerodynamic and enhances their speed. However, there is one cyclist we occasionally see who is different from the others. Rather than being hunched over and focused on speed, he simply rides his bike, plays music from a loudspeaker, and appears to be free from worry: laid back, relaxed, and genuinely happy to be there. As he passed us one day, I told my dad, “I wish I could be that relaxed.” I think most of us feel the same way… to be free from worry and to genuinely enjoy the little things in life. While I’m sure this cyclist has worries at times, he also seems to know when to let them go and focus on what brings him joy. This is something we should aim to do in our own lives. While our worries may not disappear, we can learn to set them apart from other areas of our lives. The first step in easing these worries is to turn to God in prayer and reading the Bible. Intersecting Faith & Life: Jesus tells us, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today” (Matthew 6:33-34, NLT). Rather than endlessly worrying about what is to come, we need to surrender these worries to God (1 Peter 5:7). As the Lord says, we are to focus on the Kingdom of God and live in obedience to Him. This means focusing on the present and faithfully living out God’s teachings found in Scripture. If we choose the path of worry, it will be difficult to stay focused on God. Worry can cause us to spiral further. Yet it can be eased by talking with God. Tell Him why you are worried. Be honest with Him. He will never downplay your concerns or treat them as unimportant. It is also helpful to think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8-9). Fixing our minds on these things can help quiet our worries. Instead of dwelling on the concerns of today or tomorrow, reflect on the beauty around you—the trees, a joyful call from a friend, or a warm hug from a loved one. Pray to God whenever worry rises in your heart. Let’s go to Him together: Dear God, I want to be free from worry. You know how worry creeps into my mind every day. At times, it feels like it could drown me. Help me to rise above the worry and to reflect upon Your Son’s words. Guide my heart after Your Kingdom and to live for You. Remove my anxious, worried heart and replace it with a steadfast, unwavering heart. Thank You for listening to my prayers, God. In Your Son’s Name, I pray, Amen. What are your most common worries? How can you apply Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:33-34 to your life?
