<div class="SSN_title">"BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING"</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The Jews have a word, lolidog which means "Not to worry."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. That is what the Lord is telling us here, "Not to worry."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. There are many places where the Lord gives to us the same instruction.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. In the sermon of the mount Jesus said, "Don't worry about tomorrow, what you will drink, what you will eat what you should wear."</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He told us to consider the birds, how they do not plant their crops and reap the harvest to store in their barns "Your Father feeds them."</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. You who are worried about your clothes, consider the lilies of the field, they do not toil and spin, as He referred to their spinning their yarn to make the material for the clothes. Solomon in all of his glory and royal robes was not clothed as beautifully as they.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Again He repeated to them not to worry about their drink, their food, or their clothing, He said that the heathen worried about these things. The answer was for them to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all of these things would be added to them.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">d. He spoke of the futility of worry, "Which of you by worrying can change the situation?"</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. There are many things that can create anxiety in our lives.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The uncertainty of the future.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Though we face the uncertainty of the future, we have the certainty of the past.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Paul said,</div>
<div class="SSN_verse"><a onClick="return mV('2Cr',1,10);">2CO 1:10</a> Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us];</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. There you see the past, the present and the future.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He delivered us, He is not delivering us.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. This should give us the confidence that He shall deliver us.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. The word in the King James is be careful for nothing. The word means full of care.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. For nothing, "How much is nothing?"</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The witness of Mrs. Berg. "The last time I looked, God was still on the throne."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. As long as He is on the throne, I do not need to worry.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. WHAT TO DO WITH MY WORRIES? "IN EVERYTHING, BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION LET YOUR REQUEST BE MADE KNOWN UNTO GOD."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. How much is everything?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "Oh what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Care does not bring the solution, prayer brings the solution.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Thus turn your cares into prayers.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. I'll bet that Schuller would like that one.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Turn your scars into stars.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. I left out with thanksgiving.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Our prayers and supplications should be with thanksgiving.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The thanksgiving is the exercise of faith.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Abraham gave glory to God for the promise, before there was any evidence of fulfillment.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Learning to praise God for His promises, for they are as sure as the fulfillment.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">5. With Him all is yes and amen for in Him there is neither variableness or shadow of turning.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">6. God is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man that He should repent. Has He not spoken, and shall He not make it good?</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. THE RESULT, "THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, SHALL KEEP KEEP YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. What tremendous opportunities you are going to have to witness for Christ in the next few months.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. As rumors will continue to fly about what may happen in the future, as you show no fear or anxiety, people will begin to ask questions.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. It is in death that faith in God shows it's true worth. With corporate decisions being made that you have no control over and possibly will mean the death of your job, we have a peace that passes understanding, and surely those on the work place near you will not understand your peace, but what a great time to share with them the reason for your peace. "My life is in His hands, and He is big enough to hold me up."</div>
