INTRODUCTION

The greatest remedy for worry is prayer. In Philippians 4:6
See All..., the Lord said, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." This truth is reaffirmed in 1 Peter 5:7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
See All... where the Bible says, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." A man can spend his time caring for the things of this world and for his needs, or he can cast those cares upon the Lord and allow the Lord to care for him. According to Philippians 4:7
See All..., the option of prayer replaces the cares and worries of man with "the peace of God" which is able to keep the believer’s heart and mind through Christ Jesus.

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS

• (For smaller children) When you are afraid, God wants you to talk to Him. David called on the Lord many times to help him (Psalm 3:1Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
  See All..., 4-6; Psalm 34:4I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
  See All...). God does not want us troubled or afraid (John 14:27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
  See All...).
• How does prayer hinder worry? How does worry hinder prayer? What are the benefits of choosing prayer versus the consequences of choosing worry?
• What does 1 Peter 5:7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
  See All... mean when it says, "for he [the Lord] careth for you"? It is possible that prayer makes your cares God’s responsibility rather than your own?

PRAYER NEEDS

• Ask God to help you choose prayer over worry.
• Ask the Lord to replace your cares with the peace of God.
