  1. I love this, friend! Verse 6 is about worry and verse 8 is about worship. Worship is the cure, standing in awe of our mighty God and His plans, as you have so accurately stated. When I’m overwhelmed, I fall on my knees and start worshiping and that rights my soul for sure. Perspective.

    I don’t want my worry to become my worship either. God is so good to us to show us exactly what we need by pointing us back to Himself, isn’t He?

    Good to connect with you again today!

  2. Dianne, I’m always so moved by how you take the ordinary moments and glean some God-sized lessons from them. And this one is golden! I really need to take this to heart since I know how worry affects me. Pointing me back to God is such great wisdom!
    Now as for you, of course you know that you can trust God with your sweet girl. He is more than able to take good care of her as she takes over the wheel. She’s in very good hands! 🙂
    Hugs!

  3. The minute I saw your title, I knew I needed to read this. I LOVE the NLT version of this verse. “Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.” Sounds simple. That’s a great idea to list God’s attributes and focus our thoughts on WHO is excellent and praiseworthy! Thanks, friend! xoxoxo

    Thanks, Ruthie. It makes a huge difference when we are living in an attitude of worship. It’s easy to get derailed, but I’m thankful it takes but a minute to reset!

    Thanks, Marva. I’m blessed. Yes … Abby-girl is in God’s hands … She could be in no better. She’s been driving off somewhere every day!!!

    The “ah-hah!” moments are the best. I’m loving the NLT these days. Easy to understand–straight to the point. Thanks, Betsy.

    “When our concerns become worries, they become objects of worship.” Um–YES! Totally me! I am such a worrier. I must pray about everything and worry about nothing more often. It always sounds so easy, but then worry comes in and makes me worry instead of pray. Thank you for this powerful reminder of who I am worshiping when I worry!

  8. Dianne Thornton says:

    Thanks so much, Christine. Yes … doesn’t it sound easy? When push comes to shove … that’s when we really know! I’m praying God keeps me aware so I can make the shift!
