Today's reading at ODB is from one of my favourite passages in the bible -Phil chapter 4.
I used to be a person full of worries, anxiety, always expecting the best, always have good planning (and contingencies), making sure things are in control...etc. While believing I was doing my best, I didn't realise that these turn out to be very stressful upon myself and those around me. Until recent years, I'm really learning this lesson - to let go of my control, and let God be in control.
What the author wrote today echoed the conclusion of my learning : It’s comforting to know that such things are in our Father’s hands. My inability to do anything about the problem was more than matched by my confidence in God, for whom all things are possible. As I prayed about the situation, my anxiety was replaced by His peace (Phil. 4:6-7).
應當毫無憂慮，只要凡事藉著禱告祈求，帶著感恩的心，把你們所要的告訴 神。這樣， 神所賜超過人能了解的平安，必在基督耶穌裡，保守你們的心思意念。
