Why God takes care of you and me
August 9,2018
I want the power of God living in me. I know that my receiving is based on my believing and my actions. God is not going to love me anymore then he already has. I can love him more. More then anything I want to be real. I believe God and his word. As Gods children, God wants us to have the best of everything. However, more then anything he wants us to have peace. Peace comes in part by a trust in God. Know what he said he would do.
Philippians 4-6-7
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Do you believe in prayer? The Bible tells us to “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7. What comforting words we have from the Lord, yet how many believe that prayer actually works? After reading this, you may want to think a little more about your beliefs and your prayer life.
Many years ago a survey conducted by the American Academy of Family Physicians showed that ninety-nine percent of doctors believed a relationship existed between faith and physical healing. On another occasion, more than one thousand health-care professionals met at Harvard Medical School to examine this connection between spirituality and healing.
A California study furthers the support of the effectiveness of prayer in a study of a group recovering from heart problems. “About two hundred heart patients were assigned to Christians who prayed for them, while an equal number, a control group, received no known prayers. Neither group knew about the prayers, yet those who received prayer developed half the complications that were experienced by those in the control group.”
We really do not need to take a survey to know that prayer works. Jesus said “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” “Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” – Matthew 7:7,9-11. God always answers prayer, yes, no or wait. Regardless of the answer, we can be confident that it will always be within His perfect will and for us, and bring the most glory to Him.

Worrying does not stop the bad things from happening. It only steals our peace and joy of right now. I am learning to take my troubles to the Lord and leave them with Him. He always knows my situation, and exactly how to overcome it. Nothing, not one problem that we might encounter, is too big for God to handle. Sometimes we allow our fears to seem so big that they overshadow the power of our God. When this happens, we just need to put it all in perspective. God spoke this world, and everything in it, into existence. We are on a planet, just floating in space. God created it all. Even our enemy.
Each battle that we go through is an opportunity for us. God uses each one in a specific way to help us. If we want His guidance and to know His plan for us, then we just need to spend more time with Him in prayer and in His word. Reading scriptures about my struggle helps me so much. For example, if I am struggling with fear, I like to read scriptures about faith.
Feelings of anger, anxiety, stress, worry, etc. come from our enemy. Sometimes all we need to do to stop it, is just to recognize that it is the devil trying to scare us and torment us. God can help us with all things.

One thing thing for sure is that we are not supposed to worry. Were not supposed to be all stressed out. If were truly trusting God, we know with the surety that God is going to do what he said he was going to do. God said in the word of God that he’s not a man that he should lie.
Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
6 Don’t worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks for what you have.
7 And because you belong to Christ Jesus, God’s peace will stand guard over all your thoughts and feelings. His peace can do this far better than our human minds.[b]
If we are not receiving, it could be it is not Gods time yet for the blessings that he has for us.
Philippians 4-19
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Colossians 2-10
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
The word supply is the same word and complete.
