Thoughts of Encouragement

Sunday, April 20, 2025

Do not be anxious about the things that worry you within your life.

Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”


Are you anxious about things within your life? If so, do not fear. Relief is at hand, in the way of taking your anxious moments or worries to the Lord in prayer. The Lord Jesus Christ is caring about problems you may be facing. This leads to the peace of God coming into your heart and mind, also it can be said that the peace of God is like the peace we get from Jesus because it is through our faith and prayers in Jesus, which can lead the way to our Father God.

Jesus is the good shepherd.

John 10:14-15 says, “I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep and I am known by my own. As the Father knows me, even so I know the Father, and lay down my life for the sheep.”


It is known that Jesus is the good shepherd not only does He know all about us but with His great love for people He paid in full for our sins by sacrificing His life on the cross. For example, so we could be forgiven and experience freedom to worship and praise Him. Looking at Jesus as the good shepherd it can be said, as the song mentions, “What a friend we have in Jesus.”, or it can also be mentioned, “What a beautiful and amazing friend Jesus is to us.”
