Don't...

Don't... by Janet Perez Eckles
Don't worry. I have each moment planned, each day orchestrated (Matthew 6:19-34).
Don't fear. Consider what I gave you—not a spirit of fear, but one of love, power and of sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Don't try to figure it out. Trust in me with all your heart; think of me in every situation, and I will show you the way (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Don't look back. Forget what happened yesterday. Focus on today. Hope for tomorrow (Isaiah 43:18).
Don't follow your wisdom. Seek mine instead. My thoughts and ways are higher than yours (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Don't let guilt in. If you repent, the slate is clean. The stains are removed (Psalm 103:11-12).
Don't despair. I'm near you. I will save you from all the gloom and sadness (Psalm 34:18).
Don't seek the things of this world. Seek instead a closer and more intimate relationship with me (Matthew 6:33).
Don't feel lonely. I'll be with you when you get up. When you move and when you take off on your journey (Joshua 1:9).
Don't envy what others have. I gave you what you need for today. I'll fill your desires with good things (Psalm 103:1).
Don't listen to bad news. Fill your heart with my promises instead (Psalm 102: 3-8).
Don't lament your weaknesses. I will strengthen you and I will help you (Isaiah 41:10).
God does say to look to him for answers.
Do love him with all your heart.
Do expect a life filled with blessings.
Father, I understand the restrictions You placed in life are for my protection. Thank You for Your guidance that leads me to the place that is best for me. In Jesus' name.
As you face today's problems, what is God telling you not to do?
