Question #9, Nov. 10, 2010

What your soul focuses on, what you set your mind on, is what will form the bulk of your meditation. When anxious thoughts start to crowd you, shift your gaze. Expect God's consolation (comfort, relief, support, solace) to give your soul something better to focus on. 

My sister, God will console and delight you when you are worried, but what does Philippians 4:6 also tell you you can do when the "What If's" begin to crowd you?

Philippians 4:6 (New International Version)

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

    Don't worry, pray about everything. Tell God what I need and thank Him for all He has done

    I like what Jennifer said about shifting our gaze...and I remember one time looking up the definition of some of the words in this verse and coming to the realization that a "petition" is a written request. So sometimes we can shift our gaze by writing out our requests to God and thanking Him that He has all the answers and that we can receive comfort just knowing we can come to Him.
