• 1:38
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 1:45
  - Hello, and welcome to divine five one five
• 1:49
  - daily prayers with Fauci Rocha.
• 1:51
  - Here's today's prayer where we're tackling how to
• 1:54
  - use scripture
• 1:55
  - when worry takes over.
• 1:57
  - Key scripture comes from Philippians four six through
• 2:00
  - seven and says, do not be anxious about
• 2:03
  - anything,
• 2:04
  - but in every situation,
• 2:06
  - by prayer and petition,
• 2:08
  - with thanksgiving,
• 2:10
  - presents your request to God.
• 2:13
  - Well,
• 2:15
  - we know that life is difficult,
• 2:18
  - and worry has a way of turning one
• 2:20
  - concern into 10.
• 2:23
  - A financial problem becomes fear about the future.
• 2:27
  - A medical appointment becomes a list of worst
• 2:29
  - case scenarios,
• 2:31
  - and a difficult conversation becomes something we rehearse
• 2:35
  - repeatedly before it even ever happens.
• 2:39
  - Worry feels productive because our minds are busy.
• 2:44
  - But thinking about a problem repeatedly
• 2:47
  - isn't the same as solving it,
• 2:50
  - nor does it bear
• 2:53
  - any usable
• 2:55
  - fruit.
• 2:57
  - And at some point, we have to recognize
• 3:01
  - what is ours to address
• 3:03
  - and what belongs
• 3:04
  - in God's hands.
• 3:08
  - And if that's challenging for us, we can
• 3:10
  - even go to him and ask him to
• 3:12
  - help us with that.
• 3:16
  - Scripture gives
• 3:17
  - worry a new direction.
• 3:20
  - Instead of simply telling ourselves to stop worrying,
• 3:25
  - Philippians empowers us and encourages us
• 3:29
  - to
• 3:30
  - do
• 3:31
  - this with our concern,
• 3:34
  - which is nothing more
• 3:35
  - than bringing it to God.
• 3:38
  - First, we name it,
• 3:40
  - then we ask specifically
• 3:44
  - for the support that we need to get
• 3:46
  - through it,
• 3:48
  - Then
• 3:49
  - we give thanks.
• 3:54
  - And finally, when we're all done, we return
• 3:57
  - to God's truth when worry tries to take
• 3:59
  - it back, and it will. It's like a
• 4:01
  - boom boom.
• 4:04
  - The powerful thing about prayer here is that
• 4:06
  - it turns worry from a mental cycle
• 4:09
  - into a conversation with God.
• 4:13
  - That being said,
• 4:14
  - let's
• 4:16
  - pray. Father God, you know exactly
• 4:20
  - what has been occupying our thoughts.
• 4:24
  - We bring it before you instead of carrying
• 4:26
  - it throughout another day.
• 4:29
  - Give us wisdom for anything
• 4:31
  - we need to address and peace concerning what
• 4:34
  - we cannot control.
• 4:36
  - When worry returns,
• 4:38
  - remind us to return to you.
• 4:42
  - Father, guard our heart and mind with your
• 4:44
  - peace
• 4:45
  - and teach us to trust your presence more
• 4:48
  - than
• 4:49
  - what we fear
• 4:50
  - regarding the unknown.
• 4:52
  - And we will bless you in Jesus' name.
• 4:54
  - Amen.
• 4:56
  - When the same worry returns today,
• 5:00
  - don't rehearse it.
• 5:04
  - Pray it again.
• 5:07
  - If you're learning to make prayer your first
• 5:10
  - response rather than your last resort,
• 5:12
  - the inner chamber prayer community was created to
• 5:15
  - help you build that rhythm.
