When your to-do list makes you anxious, take it to God in prayer, and His peace will carry you through.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and I do a lot of traveling! It isn’t always easy given my quadriplegia. I mean, I have to make sure that I’ve packed all my medical supplies; then contact the airline to inform them that I’m a disabled passenger; then there are wheelchair transfers. With so much to do, it sometimes makes me a little anxious! But that’s when I remember Philippians 4 where it says, “Don’t be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. [And the peace of God will be yours].” And that’s exactly what Ken and I do on the way to the airport. We pray for anyone connected with my stuff: gate agents, luggage handlers, sky caps, flight attendants, ground crew, and all the rest. So, are you anxious about your to-do list? Then pray, friend, pray. Pray over the details and the peace of God will be yours.
