God i wish that were me (2 reasons to stop worrying)

 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Matthew 11:28)

Reading through this passage, many will exclaim

“God i wish that were me”

. Anyway, it is time to leave the wishful position to actually being you.

It’s time to leave anxiety behind.

God’s Word tells us that instead of being anxious, we should bring our requests to Him by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving.

Pass your burdens, worries, and anxieties to Him.

Whatever you’re worried about, God already has a solution.

In fact, He already knows what we’re worried about, without us even having to tell Him.

But if that’s the case, why does He still ask us to present our requests to Him?

Well the truth is, this instruction is there for our benefit. For when we tell Him our requests, it’s like taking a load off our chest. We don’t actually need to verbally say our requests in order for God to answer our prayers, but it definitely helps in reliving our anxieties.

A small price to pay for salvation (6 things to know)

 Is there a small price to pay for salvation?

Nothing can compare with all that is ours in Christ when we find salvation. Forgiveness. Justification. Adoption. Eternal life. What a glorious life the Gospel offers to those who are searching for purpose and meaning or to those who have found that materialism and sensual pleasure are not the answer to the deepest yearnings of the heart.

The crowning glory of salvation is promised when we enter into the presence of the King. We have a home in heaven reserved for us and awards that await us. No wonder the Gospel is “good news.”

Unfortunately, many people today have distorted the meaning of salvation, saying that it means only political, social and economic liberation in this life. Certainly, Christians should be concerned about injustice and do what they can to promote a more just world. But lasting and complete liberation from social injustice will come only when Jesus Christ returns to establish His Kingdom. Biblical salvation is far deeper, because it gets to the root of our problem–the problem of sin. Only Christ can change the human heart and replace greed and hate with compassion and love.

Do you understand God’s plan of salvation?
