Scripture tells us we should pray when we do, “ 7 …the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4: 6 says, “ 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
What do we do? Do we humble ourselves and pray, or do we worry? Don’t you? But sometimes things happen in our lives or the lives of others around us, causing a chain reaction that is out of our control and affects us in some way. Wow, I like the cheerful heart better than the crushed spirit. Proverbs 17:22 says, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” There’s just something about that song that makes you want to sing and smile. “Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, don’t worry oo-oo-oo-oo be happy now Oo-oo-oo” Be happy?” Instinctively I start to sing the next line before my lips can follow along, landing somewhere along here: The Bible is full of admonitions not to worry, not to be fearful, to rejoice in the LORD, and to accept Christ’s peace, but how do we do that in the day to day? And what do we do when our emotions rebel against our head? 😉 Today I’m thrilled to have my dear friend, critique partner, and fellow Christ to the World writer back with us sharing her heart on how she believes we can maintain a joyful heart.ĭo you remember that song by Bobby McFerrin, “Don’t worry.
