How to get that thing… off your mind!
I was talking with a family member and she was worried and concerned about a matter that seemed to be haunting her mind. She couldn’t see how things could work out in her favor and the consequence looked devastating. I told her whatever the issue big or small; you’re supposed to cast your cares on God. She looked me dead in my face and said, “How do I do that? I’ve heard that for years”.
I told her it’s done in three parts. Frist- you have to actually cast the care on Him (God). You do that by telling God I am giving this issue to you, I’m giving it to you now, believing that you will work it out for my good. Once you do that don’t take it back by worrying how it’s going to happen.
1 Peter 5 New Living
7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
Second- change the things you’ve been focusing on, start thinking about the things you can control in your life. Get your goals, dreams and desires at the fore front of your life. Focus on the plans and ways to move your life forward. Plant a seed into helping someone else move forward.
Philippians 4 New Living
8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Third- start thanking God in advance for what He’s going to do. Even though you may not see any change yet, by faith God is moving on your behalf and intervening for you. Start confessing out loud things like: “thank you Daddy God that you are working this out for my good”, “I thank you that the favor of God is moving on my behalf”, “God always works it out for my good”. Say these kinds of things several times a day until your issue lines up with what you’re believing for. If you are talking about the situation make sure your conversation is in line with what your confessing and believing, NO NEGATIVE TALK OR CALLING IT LIKE IT IS. Remember you are using your words to change the situation. Add some quiet time to your day to hear Holy Spirit on the matter. Also look back at your past victories where God moved and worked it out for you before. Check out testimonies on Youtube see how God moved for others this will help strengthen your faith.
Won’t He do it… YES HE WILL!
Seek the word because the word works if you work it.
