Just a simple request for prayers to be free of anxiety and fear of the worst and instead be positive, be present with my family, and trust in God as I await some answers to heath issues. Any prayers or advice of how to actually just put it in God's hands rather than living in anxiety are appreciated. Thanks so much.

Been there, done that. It is one thing to say I am going to beat anxiety and stress, a completely different thing to actually do it. And don't beat yourself up or think you are not a "good" Christian because you are plagued by this. Stay away from the booze and try to get alone and meditate daily 10-15 minutes on the goodness of God. Seek professional help if needed.

Prayers for the peace that passeth all understanding. And you are on my daily prayer list. Shalom.

And as so often it seems to happen, my morning devotional seems helpful here.

We all know John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him will have everlasting life.

The Greek word for believes is pistis which usually mean to trust. Changes the meaning of the verse completely. I have to remember to trust Jesus. Not just to believe in Him. That is when you get peace and the Kingdom. Now and for eternity.
