Do we have reasons to be fretful? - Prayer Time with Arabah Joy and Jen Evangelista
If you have seen the news lately, we have lots of reasons to be fretful, but the Bible has some wonderful verses to help us deal with anxiety. Today Jen and I want to share some of our favorites.
----
Psalm 37
Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
-----
This passage brings so much peace to my heart, and I hope it encourages you too.
I pray that we trust the Lord, that we do not fret when evil "succeeds." Our part is to trust in Him, and not give into anger, anxiety, or fear. Let's take all the energy and time we spend worrying and pour it into delighting in the Lord.

Isaiah 43:1-2
But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
-----
It doesn't matter how hard we fail, he is still faithful, he still loves us, and he redeems us. His plan of redemption was planned since the creation of the world and there's nothing we can do to stop this beautiful plan.
