Recently I was having difficulty publishing my blogs to Facebook and Twitter. At the same time multiple duplicate emails were being sent out to subscribers of my blogs. These technology issues were “driving me crazy.”
Did God care about my challenges with technology?
In the midst of dealing with these technology issues, I was reminded of the phrase, “Do not be anxious about anything.”
I know this verse well, and I know where it is found in scripture.
Philippians 4:6-7 …. do not be anxious about anything, 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 understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
“….do not be anxious about anything ….”
I needed to replace my anxiety about these technology issues with prayer. I needed to have an attitude of thanksgiving. I needed to turn all the details of my frustrations over to God.
What did I get in return? A sense of peace. I am not expected to understand how this happens. All I am expected to know is that God wants to replace my anxiety with His peace.
Was there a promise to fix all the technology issues? No, the only promise was that I would experience the peace of God. However, if you are reading this blog, the technology issues were resolved. Awesome!
Are you anxious about something? Try Philippians 4:6-7.
Biblical principles work.
