1
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: the day is the evil thereof Matthew six thirty four.

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: Dear Father, you are the creator of all, and you

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: know everything. Today we come humbly asking for your help

6
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: in seeking peace and strength to be content with our lives.

7
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: Grant us the ability to take a step back from

8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: faithfully trusting in what tomorrow may bring, so that we

9
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: may remain focused on the day at hand. Help us

10
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: to live each moment in such a way that will

11
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: bring glory and honor to You in your Holy name. Amen.

12
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining me in prayer. Stay tuned for

13
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,479

15
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: Noah didn't wait until it started raining to build the arc.

16
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: He was prepared right. Hi. I'm Matthew Potter, founder of

19
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: What if you need to see a doctor now but

20
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: you can't get in, or the pharmacy runs out of

21
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: medicine like during COVID or you're traveling and you can't

22

Speaker 3: Our goal again for today's meditative prayer is fighting anxiety.

37
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: So take a second. Just try to slow down. Sit

38
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: on your favorite chair, on your bed, or wherever you

39
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: feel the most comfortable. Grab a warm blanket or a

40
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: soft pillow to hug. If you'd like, and once you're

41
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: able to relax, turn your thoughts toward what God has

42
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: for you today. This morning we'll be meditating on Matthew

43
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: six thirty four from the King James version. It reads,

44
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: take therefore no thought for themorrow, for themorrow shall take

45
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day

46
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: is the evil thereof. Now take a moment to just

47
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: pour out your adoration unto God, God, I worship you,

48
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: for you are power. I exalt you, for you live

49
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: outside the continuum of time. By your will and design,

50
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: time was created. You determine time's parameter and gave meaning

51
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: to the changing of the seasons. You taught humanity how

52
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: to gauge In's passage through the yielding of day to night.

53
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: Who is like you, O Lord must Hi. Your power

54
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: is infinite, unsearchable, and unmeasurable. You alone are worthy to

55
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: be praised. Guy's life is to be lived one day

56
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: at a time. This mentality can be challenging for so

57
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: many reasons. Though overwhelmed by daily problems and pressing matters,

58
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: some become catatonic and consumed with worry. Others become obsessed

59
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: over control and with guessing what comes next. Reigning and

60
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: unchecked ambition and drive while avoiding apathy and carelessness can

61
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 3: feel like playing a game of Russian roulette. The odds

62
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 3: are not favorable and there's no chance for control or

63
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: guarantee of outcome. But regardless of which side of the

64
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: spectrum you land on, you must rely on the help

65
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: of the Holy Spirit to survive. Take a moment to

66
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: reflect on your current behavior. Examine the areas keeping you

67
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: from applying this mindset to your life. Confess them to God.

68
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: Place your anxieties in his hand. Now consider it for

69
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: a moment God's mercies in your life, and thank Him

70
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: for it. God's love for you has never and will

71
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 3: never fail. His mercies over you. Renew every morning, thank

72
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: God that you are not bound to anxiety, but you

73
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: are free to live in the moment of each day.

74
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: Thank God for past situations while he alleviated your concerns

75
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: for the future. Thank God because He is good and

76
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: he will always be good. Thank God for his mercies

77
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 3: which allow and enable you to live each day as

78
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 3: it comes. God is present and he is listening to you.

79
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: Never forget God wants you not just to exist, but

80
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: to live and to enjoy life and to enjoy to

81
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 3: its fullest potential. The Bible warns that worry is futile

82
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: because each day will hold its own challenges. So reach

83
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: out to God for his peace. Ask the Holy Spirit

84
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 3: to help you walk your journey one step at a time.

85
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: Ask him to help you leave tomorrow's struggles to its

86
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: own day. And remember, do not worry about tomorrow, because

87
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble

88
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: of its own. By living life day to day, you

89
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: will be better equipped to handle whatever comes your way.

90
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 3: Be encouraged. You're not alone in this mission. You have

91
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: God's Holy Spirit to help you and to guide you.

92
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: And remember He'll never leave you nor abandon you. You

93
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: can do this. Thank you for completing today's meditative prayer
