Because of the Cross

Because of the Cross the world is forever changed,

And all of God’s blessings are now yours.

 Because of the Cross,

you have been offered forgiveness, a life filled with purpose,

indescribable joy, peace in the midst of storms, eternal life,

renewed strength, freedom from fear and anxiety, and so much more.

 Because of the Cross, you will never be the same.

Because of the Cross, There is No Need to Worry 

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. 

-         1 Peter 5:6-7

O God give me the serenity to accept the things cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. 

-         St. Francis of Assisi 

Stop pacing! Are you wringing your hands? Shaking your head? Clenching your fists? Is your brow furrowed? Are you grinding your teeth? Why bite your nails?

Are you having a bad day? There is nothing you will face that God can’t handle. We have a loving caring Father who wants to carry out burdens for us.  Let go of the need to be in control and fall to your knees. Humble yourself and let God have complete control of your life.

Remember Christ’s worst day. He suffered unbearable pain and endured all of our worst days for us on the Cross!  Why worry when you already have what you need?

PLACE ALL OF YOUR TROUBLES AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS
