“Don’t be pulled in different directions or be worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day...” (Philippians 4:6 TPT)
One of my knit blankets is coming apart. Over the years, it has been pulled and tugged in many directions. Now the edges are frayed. If it unravels completely, I shall miss its warmth and comfort.
The concerns of this life can pull us in different directions. During times of stress, the demands on our time, energy, and emotions are high. It is natural to feel ill-equipped and overwhelmed. Worry tugs at every corner, unraveling our peace.
The antidote to pervasive anxiety is to be saturated in prayer. When something is saturated, it is permeated completely; there is no space left for anything else. Prayer is communion with God. When we share our thoughts, emotions, and concerns with the Lord, we become one with Him. Infused by His presence, imbued by His strength, neither worry nor distractions can pull us apart.
