Relax

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6–7 WEB.

I lay in bed, unable to sleep as another night passed by. I was so concerned about the next day that I couldn't seem to end the current one. Yet, when the following day arrived, everything took care of itself. Day after day, year after year, decade after decade, the pattern continues. Worry is for nothing, anxiety accomplishes nothing, and when the problem arrives, so will God's provision.

Stop striving to make something happen too soon or in your own strength. When the time comes, it will be unstoppable. It will be so easy that you will say, "How can it be?" I have worked at things so hard in my life that I became frustrated and gave up. Then, I watched it come to pass without lifting a finger to help. Even my "giving up" didn't stop God's promises from coming to pass in my life. It's He who is faithful, not me.

Relax. Stop striving, worrying, and being so anxious about the future. Submit yourself to God. Put Him first in your priorities. Delight in the Lord, and all of these things will take care of themselves in the proper time. He cares for you, and He gave you the dream you carry inside. So relax. Take it one step at a time. Love Him and let Him bring it to pass.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I wait on You today. I know you haven't forgotten me, and I trust that You will take care of tomorrow when it comes. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Note: Today, we will be hosting our Wednesday morning prayer service at the usual time of 10:30am EST! This is a short service, about 15-20 minutes, where we pray together for any needs you would like to share. Hope to see y'all there! As always, if you have a prayer need, we are here for you! We and the prayer team are ready to lift you up at our private prayer page: RHM Prayer Network.

Site update #586: I completed a large update to the Audio Library on the left sidebar. There is now a live service archive of all past services, full-length in case you miss a service and want to catch up, as well as all of our original music. You can download the .mp3 files directly to your device now to listen when you don't have internet. I also added a pop-out player so you can listen without remaining on the page. Give it a try and let me know if you have any problems. 😀

What a blessing, Pastor Dion! The audio library page is easy to navigate and I truly appreciate the pop-out player, as I have many tabs open during my computer sessions and this allows me to keep the music flowing. Well done! 😊🎶

sounds great. I know that will be useful for me...need to write that down. Hope the Todd family have a blessed Saturday and Sunday. I do believe God gave us those 2 special days for His sake and our sake! Work hard or volunteer (myself) hard through the week. We get our rewards here on Earth and rewards in Heaven.

Amen. I feel like this message was for me. I have been struggling with Defense Finance and Accounting and the Department of Veterans Affairs. These two departments are so badly run, it’s no wonder so many of our veterans are in need. After 5 months of going back and forth and submitting the same forms three times, I’ve had to reach out to the U.S. Representative Darren Soto to help us. My brother is not in a good way and the VA has done him no favors for a problem they caused. Not be in paid for 18 months and God bless the ladies that run his ALF. They have been so gracious to us.

Im becoming quite impatient and frustrated with these people. Thank God for my sister. She has so much more grace and compassion compared to me. Please pray for me to have grace and patience.
