Write your own or print mine and read it each time you feel stress or worry trying to steal your peace.
Confessions of a Former Worrier
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:6-7 NIV)
- I don’t worry about anything (Philippians 4:6-7).
● I am not fearful.
● I don’t entertain anxiety.
● Jesus, I’m bringing all my concerns to you – big and small.
● I trust you to lead me with your wisdom (since your ways and thoughts are much higher than mine. Isaiah 55:8-9).
● I trust you to help me know and do my part (since you say if I trust in You and lean not on my own understanding and acknowledge you in my way, You will direct my path. Proverbs 3:5-6).
● And I thank you too! There is so much to be thankful for.
● Thank you that you listen and always know what to do.
● Thank you that you love me and want what’s best for me.
● Thank you that you care about the little things I’m concerned about (like a parent that wants good things for their children – and I am your child).
● Thank you for my food – it’s yummy and you made it healthy too!
● Thank you for family – I love Paul and my kiddoes and their kiddoes. (They remind me of how much You love us.)
● Thank you for friends – and help me be a good one too.
● Forgive me for things I do, think, or say that displease You; and help me grow in the Fruit of the Spirit.
● Thank you for peace that’s beyond anything I can imagine no matter what’s going on.
● You are AMAZING! You are GOOD! You are FAITHFUL! I LOVE YOU!
● OK – Now I’m getting on with my day and I’m bringing You and Your immense peace along! Thank you so much! Let’s hang out all day!
