Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6
In our study this week, you have learned Gods prescription for dealing with anxiety. In these Scriptures, God is promising that when you come to Him with your everythings wrapped in constant prayer and gratitude, making your requests known to Him, He will guard your heart and your mind with His peace! There is no more powerful weapon in your battle against anxiety than the peace of God! What assurance! What comfort! What rest from anxiety! When you do as God commands, you can expect God to do what He says He will do. Isaiah 55:11 says
So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
God is not going to fail you! If He has promised you His peace, you can expect His peace. He promises that His Word (these Scriptures we have been studying) will not come back to Him empty without accomplishing what He sent them to do! You can trust God to do what His Word says He will do!
Consider one more passage of Scripture regarding anxiety and worry:
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
"Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds!
And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life's span?
If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters?
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!
And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying.
For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things.
But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
Luke 12:6-7, 24-26, 27-31
As we wrap up our study of the anxiety of infertility, it is my prayer that you will truly realize that God has your life in His hands. He knows the anxiety that baby hunger brings. He also offers you His peace that surpasses knowledge. He knows what you desire. He knows what you have need of. He sees the whole picture, and tells you not to worry. The same God who says Do not kill and Do not steal says Do not worry. You can trust Him with your heart. You can trust Him with your mind. You can trust Him with your infertility.
