The Overwhelmed Challenge

According to Grace Life International counselor Mark Maulding, God’s best-kept secret is this:  The Christian life is easier than you think, because you already have everything you need in Christ to live it!  Maulding has dedicated his life to teaching this message. Now he introduces some of the key concepts of God’s best-kept secret in a week’s worth of devotions here on YouVersion.

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!
