With the start of a new school year many young people, parents and teachers might be feeling anxious. Laoshi Ruby shared with us a verse to help us when we are feeling stressed.
Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
This verse is reminding us that in every situation we find ourselves in, whatever we have upcoming, we should pray and give our worries to God to allow the peace that he has for us to guard our hearts and minds from things that aren’t from Him, like worry or anxiety.
In those times we need to learn to put our trust in Him. This isn’t always easy to do but we can learn with lots of practice! She shared how at a tournament she was feeling nervous before competing and performing in front of so many people and judges. Before going up she prayed for peace and focus and God helped her through it! She ended up doing very well, earning a gold medal with a perfect score from the judges! By praying and giving her worries to God, God helped her by giving her peace to perform what she had practiced well.
We can know that He is with us, He has a plan, that He can help us through, we just need to ask. We wish everyone a good start to the school year!
