In nothing be anxious,

but in everything, by prayer and petition

with thanksgiving, let your requests

be made known to God

Phil 4:6

the subject for today is:

Not being crushed by anxieties

Dear Friends,

It would be wonderful if we would commit the things we encounter into God's hand item by item. Otherwise, when the first thing comes up, we lay it upon ourselves. Then when the second and third things come up, we also lay them upon ourselves. In this way, we are pressed and lose our joy.

Once I saw builders moving tiles to the roof of a house.

Three men stood on a ladder, one at the top, the second in the middle, and the third at the bottom. The one at the bottom would hand the tiles over to the one in the middle.

After the one in the middle received the tiles, he would hand them to the one at the top. They continued this way unceasingly. When I saw this I thought, “What if the man in the middle did not pass on the tiles he received, or what if the man on the top refused to take the tiles passed to him?”

If that happened, the one in the middle would eventually be crushed to death by the tiles that were continuously coming to him. We deal with anxiety in this manner. If we do not send all the anxieties to God to let Him bear them, all the anxieties of this world will crush us to death.

The moment we have anxiety, we must immediately entrust it to the Lord.

We do not have to tolerantly accumulate anxieties upon ourselves item by item. There is a way out. We can rejoice and be free from anxiety because we have God and because we can entrust all things to God through prayers.

Support our Internet Ministry!

Are you every day looking forward to receive "Daily Bread"?  Do you like to browse in the by now tens of thousands WebPages, or do you like the conversations in the forums? Than this is for you !

A big interactive site with over 10 domains, news systems, newsletters, forums, web- polls, etc. pity enough costs a lot of money.

The reason why we although we have to live on social welfare, still do this, is because we are sure that hundreds of people are blessed by what we are doing on the internet. It is not by accident that we had now already over half a million visitors on our sites.

To do this all we are completely depending on God’s grace, and because of your donations we can afford to continue. Therefore we also ask you to see if you could help us to keep this internet activity alive. Thanks in advance for your support!

Incase you like to support financially your donations can be sent to:
