“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think on these things” Philippians 4:8, Berean Study Bible.
Whenever I would read “Be anxious for nothing,” I would say in my heart, “Too late, Lord, I’m already anxious. So, what now?” (see Philippians 4:6). Instead of allowing that scripture to give me life and encourage me, I was saddened because I felt I didn’t measure up. But one thing I’ve learned is God never issues a command and leave us alone to figure out how to actually walk it out.
With every command our Father gives, He provides a flood of grace, strength and power to carry it out. So, instead of hearing “Be anxious for nothing” and allowing it to make us feel ashamed due to all of the fear and anxiety we experience, let’s allow that scripture to bless us in knowing God’s grace is with us to help us not be anxious.
God will settle you when you are troubled. He tells us in Philippians 4:8, “…whatever is true…think on these things.” I want to highlight, “whatever is true”. My sister, God’s word is settled in heaven forever, and the truth of His word will settle you when fear and anxiety is attacking your mind. God will remind you of His love and His truth and it will calm you supernaturally!
Prayer: Father God, thank you for helping me be anxious for nothing. I welcome your truth in my heart, and I invite your Holy Spirit to come in and rest, rule and abide in me. Thank you that the truth of who you are to me settles my emotions and calms me. Help me rest in your truth today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
(Read Matthew 6:25-34)

So true! I used to feel down as well. Now I realize that it was/is the enemy twisting God’s word to distract me from the Truth. That trick doesn’t work on me anymore. Praise my Lord that He helped me internalize and completely believe His Truth.

The other day I found myself thinking something that was irrational and I shook my head and told myself to stop it and think on what is true and I asked God for help get me back on track. He did settle me and he is right now as I was just turned down from another job. I know He has a plan for me!
