Day 13 – Don’t worry, be happy now!
Philippians 4:6-7 says:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
These verses were the basis for the message of encouragement ‘Prayer Overcomes Worry’ I shared with the octogenarians, nonagenarians and others today at the elderly home.
Two of them also gave heart-warming testimonies of the faith that has gotten them through the tough times in life and which gives them great hope for their future.
I remember when Covid-19 turned our world upside down and sent us into lockdown in our own homes the first sermon I was led to share was the very same message I shared more briefly today. You can hear the historic Covid-19 lockdown version at https://youtu.be/2YzhNbw95Fs
Enjoy two wonderful versions of Bobby McFerrin’s Don’t Worry Be Happy song.
