our option

i just read this paragraph from the chapter of max lucado's book 'come thirsty' that we are using in our study on sunday mornings. i wanted to share it with you:

Worry is an option, not an assignment. God can lead you into a worry-free world. Be quick to pray. Focus less on the problems ahead and more on the victories behind. Do your part, and God will do his. He will guard your heart with his peace ... a peace that passes understanding.

doesn't that just make you feel rejuvenated? read phil 4:6-7, "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."
