When we think of the perfect image of a father, we think of someone who is strong and mighty, yet gentle and soft in spirit, always there to comfort and always there to make everything right. A source of comfort and safety, where you just KNOW everything will be ok, just so long as he is around, and no matter what we do, he always is there.
We all have this very perfect Father. He loves us so very much, that He wants to know every want that we have, everything that hurts us, and all that scares us.
God cares so deeply that He tells us not to worry about our circumstances, but rather pray to Him, and expect that He will answer. Be thankful to Him for everything He is doing for you that you don't know He is doing, and for all that he will give and do in the future, and always remember what He has done for you in the past.
I find so much love in the thought that God doesn't want His children to be anxious and worry, and even tells us to continually come to Him, and that is because He loves us, and WANTS to helps us!
God's peace will be with us and we should always be thankful for what God has given to us, no matter what our situation is, and the peace that we cannot even fathom will guard our hearts, making God's peace a shield against the anxieties and worries that we have! God loves you THAT much, that if you trust Him and have faith in Him, that He will actually protect our hearts from being overcome by depression!
We are to always meditate on things that are good, and especially in hard times. God does so much for us that we don't always realize. If we don't dwell on the hardship, but rather have a thankful and praising attitude, the hardship will pass, and we shall also be growing closer to our ever loving Father!
My prayer for all who read this is that they give their anxieties once and for all to God, and instead of fretting, that they will feel the loving arms of God, calling them to run to Him. In Jesus Name, Amen!
