Hollywood Prayer Network On Anxiety & WorrySample
DON'T BE ANXIOUS - GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!
"I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize the Lord is able to carry out His will, and His will is mine. It makes no matter where He places me, or how. That is rather for Him to consider than for me; for in the easiest positions He must give me His grace, and in the most difficult, His grace is sufficient." Hudson Taylor
PRAY: Dear God, I need help with my worry. I know You will take care of me, but I can't shake the fear of having no money, being in bad health, or losing close relationships. Can you please reveal to me today how to overcome my worry by truly embracing the truth that You are taking care of me? You are the one who supplies my daily needs, and I am wasting time by worrying about what You are already taking care of. Thank You for letting me live out the truths in Matthew 6:25-27. I want to be as free as the birds of the air!
REFLECT: Imagine being a bird who wakes up in the morning, flies to the ground to find breakfast, then spends the day flying through the beautiful sky with his/her family and friends. That bird has no worries, no obligations, no bills, no job to find. God tells us that even in our world we can feel that free. Can you imagine letting go of all of the heaviness that comes from obligations, bills, and responsibilities, and allowing yourself to feel free, despite your circumstances? God tells us that's possible.
ACT: Commit right now to stop your brain from thinking about anything that questions God's provision and His promises to take care of you. Find a way to train your brain to break old habits of worry and concern. You'll know what works for you, but don't allow the same patterns of question and worry to control your life. Today is the day to get your brain to find peace in God's care for you. You are SO valuable in His eyes and He doesn't want you to waste your life by worrying.

About this Plan
HPN wants to meet your personal spiritual needs and supply you a solid daily devotional, as well as encourage you to include praying for the people, the projects, and the incredible influence of the Hollywood entertainment industry. We see it as the world’s most influential mission field and yet the people there struggle with the same issues that we do. This week we’re facing one of the most powerful and debilitating emotions that we experience: ANXIETY/WORRY. God tells us over and over again in His Word that we are not to worry, we’re not to feel anxious, and yet we struggle with it every day. If we could truly trust God to give us wisdom, guide us in our thoughts and conversations and have the faith to let Him take care of the details of our life, we would feel freedom and joy, despite our circumstances. Let’s try to master a sense of peace by giving our anxiety and worry to Him this week!
