Pray Instead of Worry
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything let your requests be made known to God."Philippians 4:6
Reflection
God did not only say stop worrying. He gave the trade: instead of chewing on it, come talk to me. Prayer is worry with an address.
Prayer
Father, instead of worrying, I come to talk with You. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What did God tell us to do instead of worrying?
- What worry can you turn into a prayer right now?
- How do you feel after praying?
5-minute activity
Make two columns on paper: "My worry" and "My prayer." Fill in the first column, then rewrite each worry as a short prayer in the second. Pray them together. Read Philippians 4:6-7.
