Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
We cannot hide the fact that some people, even Christians, struggle and suffer depression and anxiety because of challenging situations they are facing. It’s a battle that they have to fight. Dr. Charles Stanley answers, discusses, and shares his insights on a viewer’s email asking “How can a Christian, overwhelmed by life’s difficulties, overcome depression and anxiety?” in his regular TV Program In Touch.
Dealing With Anxiety From A Christian Perspective
“Dr. Charles F. Stanley, senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta and founder of In Touch Ministries, demonstrates a keen awareness of people’s needs by providing practical biblical truths for everyday life. Modeling his ministry after the apostle Paul’s message to the Ephesians, Dr. Stanley believes that: “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus–the work of telling others the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love” (Acts 20:24, TLB).” Read more about Dr Charles Stanley on this link.
I was flicking over at Youtube when this video got my attention. It’s about Lee Strobel‘s interview with Charles Templeton highlighting the reason why a preacher who was well on his way to becoming the best preacher of the 20th Century suddenly rejected his faith. Charles Templeton has spent years in the ministry and a close friend of Rev. Billy Graham.
In that interview, Lee came up with two rhetorical questions that describes several objections to Christianity as follows:
1. In a world of thousands of religions and gods, why is Jesus the only way to salvation? Are we actually suppose to believe that only the christians got it right?
2. How could a loving God, the God of the Bible, created a world full of evil and suffering? What do you think dear readers? Do you have answers to this questions? Please post your answers on the comment portion below.

Top Bibles Verses about the Blood of Jesus:
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
“and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” – Hebrews 9:12-14
“And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.” – Matthew 26:27-28
“Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.” – Acts 20:28
“And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. “You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.” –Revelation 5:9-10
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” –1 John 1:7
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” – Revelation 12:11
“For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.” – Leviticus 17:11
If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.(Romans 10:9)
I once was lost, but now I’m found
I once was lost, but now I’m found
So far away, but I’m home now
I once was lost, but now I’m found
And now my lifesong sings
I once was blind, but now I see
I once was blind, but now I see
I don’t know how, but when He touched me
I once was blind, but now I see
And now my lifesong sings
Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you. 1 Peter 5v17
Today, I stumbled to this preaching of the late David Wilkerson. He was the Founding Pastor of Times Square Church in New York City. He was called to New York in 1958 to minister to gang members and drug addicts, as told in the best-selling book, The Cross and the Switchblade. I must confess that after I read his book, I am deeply impacted of his heart for Christ. What a faithful servant of God he was. Again, with this preaching, “Trusting God with All Your Tomorrows,” I found encouragement and inspiration as I face this New Year. It’s true, we have tendencies to worry about tomorrow. It is very easy to worry and be anxious of what will happen to us. The devil keeps pointing to us of our failure and putting us down in depression. David Wilkerson in this preaching shared the life of Abraham and the Apostle Paul about handling our future. I encourage you to watch the full video below and make sure you SHARE to people you care who might be needing to hear this message. – Thor
David Wilkerson Trusting God with All Your Tomorrows
Do Not Worry
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew 6: 25-35 NKJV)
