Am I leading a happy life today?

腓 立 比 書 4 (Chinese Union Version (Traditional))

6 應 當 一 無 罣 慮 ， 只 要 凡 事 藉 著 禱 告 、 祈 求 ， 和 感 謝 ， 將 你 們 所 要 的 告 訴 神 。

7 神 所 賜 、 出 人 意 外 的 平 安 必 在 基 督 耶 穌 裡 保 守 你 們 的 心 懷 意 念 。

Philippians 4 (The Message)

6-7Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Philippians 4 (New International Version)

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Think:

1. Reread Philippians 4:6,7. What is the result of not being anxious, but presenting our requests to God through prayer and petition with thanksgiving?

2. Sometimes we are anxious about life because we are sitting around thinking about it. What specifically can you do today to live life to the fullest? Do it today!

My feelings and thoughts:

Well, I just find that my life is still in a mess, better say it is still under God's construction. Yeah, it's always a mess in a construction site before the building is completed. Foundation is important and it takes time.

I know that worrying is not good and it's just my habit of worrying things like my family, my future, my life, honey's health...I pray. I do pray, but am I praying in a wrong way? I do tell my worries and wishes to God, sometimes I thank God, but I still worry. Oh, Lord, please heal me and teach me how to do it? How to do with faith and trust? I need you so much.

Maybe the cure is to live one day well. Don't think about much of tomorrow. What can I do today to make my life to the fullest? Let me think...Well, I'm going to CU today for the first class of the summer intensive course. I'll try to be witty-minded but diligent of course to fulfil the course requirement but don't place too much pressure on myself! Just try my best, ok? Then, I'll look at the sofas in the afternoon and go to MK to look for The Message. After that, go for a swim and prepare for dinner. That's it!
