Rather than seeking total control, relinquish it. You can't run the world, but you can entrust it to God. This is the message behind Paul's admonition to "rejoice in the Lord." Peace is within reach, not for lack of problems, but because of the presence of a sovereign Lord. Rather than rehearse the chaos of the world, rejoice in the Lord's sovereignty, as Paul did. Sovereignty gives the saint the inside track to peace. Others see the problems of the world and wring their hands. We see the problems of the world and bend our knees.

No one can pray and worry at the same time. When we worry, we aren't praying. When we pray, we aren't worrying.

God loves you simply because He has chosen to do so. He loves you when you don't feel lovely. He loves you when no one else loves you. Others may abandon you, divorce you, and ignore you, but God will love you always. No matter what!

Don't quit. For if you do, you may miss the answer to your prayers.

---

Love like there's no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again.

Anxiety and fear are cousins but not twins. Fear sees a threat. Anxiety imagines one.
