The Antidote for Anxiety and Depression: Trust in Abba Father’s Care – Pt 69
Abiding in Jesus!
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
– John 15:7
People who struggle with anxiety and depression are usually unstable and easily moved by situations in life. Often times they don’t ask for help, not because they don’t want to be helped but because they don’t know how too. What if when help is sought it is not given? The question of who and where to ask for help is sometimes an issue. Furthermore, persons suffering with anxiety and depression are often timid and this also contributes to the reluctance to ask for help.
However, there is One in whom you can boldly turn too in prayer at any time for anything and have all your requests answered. This One is Jesus. In His very own words, He proposes, “If you stay, remain, continue, permanently or unwaveringly and constantly abide in Me, that is, you are rooted, unmoving and stable in Me, and My words stay, remain, continue, permanently or unwaveringly and constantly abide in you, that is, My words are rooted, unmoving and stable in you, you shall demand or insist, that is, be adamant in requesting and demanding assistance to meet tangible needs, such as food, shelter, money, et cetera, with a humble, respectful and honourable attitude, and it shall be done unto you.” Wow! What a proposal?
This proposal is an invitation from God Himself to you because He desires to abide with you continuously. It is for this reason He created you in the first place, to have fellowship with you. When you are unwaveringly and constantly in His presence, you can be sure that all your prayers would be answered and all your needs met. Would you accept His proposal and invite to abide in Him and let His words abide in you today?
God bless you!
MY PRAYER FOR TODAY
Abba, I worship You. Thank You for Your proposal and invitation to abide in You. I declare today that I will unwaveringly and constantly abide in Jesus and allow His words to unwaveringly and constantly abide in me. Therefore, God answers all my prayers and supplies all my needs. I pray this by faith in Jesus’ precious name with thanksgiving. Amen!
