Afternoon Bible Study
We tend to be worriers. We worry about our families, jobs, friends, money, needs, safety the list goes on. We want to be in control and make sure everything our loved ones need is taken care of. Somehow, we believe that worrying about those things can make it happen.

What-ifs can take over our minds if we aren't careful. They can cause us to react instead of turning to God. Worries and what-ifs can rob us of a peaceful night's sleep and leave us feeling exhausted and helpless.

This afternoon's verse in Philippians says that we should present all of our requests to God. In exchange for our petitions, we are given His peace. This isn't just an okay feeling that happens when we stop allowing ourselves to worry. This is a heavenly peace that is beyond our comprehension and it can ours just for the asking.



Because God is concerned with all of our cares, He will never make us feel like our worries don't matter. God listens to the cries of our hearts like a concerned Father. When we pray and present our concerns, we can leave them with God and then move on, placing all of our hope and faith in Him.

When we feel the temptation to worry, we should immediately give our cares to the Lord. He will take away our worries and replace them with the kind of peace that only He can provide.
Afternoon Prayer
God, thank you for giving me your Word. Forgive me for the times I have taken it for granted. Lead me to your Word when I need guidance and show me how to better live for you. Give me understanding and wisdom. Show me things that I have never seen before. Lord, please remind me to study your Word. I'm so grateful for this beautiful gift! In Jesus's name, amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study
"Beach enthusiasts love the sound of the water and the feeling of sand under their feet. On a beautiful day, there's nothing better than seeing a colorful sunset over the ocean.

For those who enjoy swimming in the water, they know the danger of riptides for inexperienced swimmers. Riptides, also called rip currents, are narrow bands of water. They can be very dangerous, and how you react when you encounter one makes all the difference.

When a swimmer gets caught in a riptide, the current pulls the person away from shore and further out into deeper water. By remaining calm, you can easily escape -- but panicking can lead to drowning.

"
Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer
Jesus, thank you for providing a way for me to escape from spiritual death. You have given me a gift that is beyond my comprehension. Your peace calms my heart even amidst thrashing waves that hit hard against me. You are always with me, providing a safe way for me to escape. Jesus, help me to be aware of those around me who are drowning and need you. I am forever grateful for your gift of salvation. In your name, amen.
