BRINGING CHRIST INTO YOUR CRISIS

Hello Friend, Fear is something that can grip you out of nowhere. On most occasions, it’s not even logical, but it can overtake you anyway.The Bible tells us to pray about things instead of worrying over them. 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.” Get your copy of Bringing Christ Into Your Crisis. That original word that Paul uses there for “guard” carries with it the image of a sentry posted at a door to control what goes through and what doesn’t. You’ve heard of a bodyguard; God’s peace is a mind-guard and a heart-guard. The idea is that God’s peace will protect you from the onslaught of fear, anxiety, and worry. We’ve seen these things in abundance lately, haven’t we? But these these crises aren't the only ones we will experience in life. The loss of a job, the passing of a loved one, a medical diagnosis, financial difficulties, natural disasters—there are many kinds of crisis that will beset us. The important thing is to look to Jesus during these times. I’ve written a book to help with that. It’s called Bringing Christ into Your Crisis. We’re giving it away to anyone who donates to Harvest Ministries in June. If you’d like a copy mailed to you, you can give any amount here: Donate Your donation will be used to fund initiatives that bring glory to God and give men, women, and children an opportunity to follow Jesus.
