All Times

“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall be ever in my mouth.” Psalm 34:2

ALL times? Lord, even when our father is sick and we feel anxiety rising from the pit of our stomach? Especially then. I woke up at 3 am and couldn’t fall asleep again. It is at times like these we need God’s Word. 

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

About ANYTHING? Yes, worry about nothing. As St. Teresa of Avila wrote, “Let nothing disturb you, nothing frighten you,

All things are passing. God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Whoever has God lacks nothing. God is enough.”

And my all-time favorite: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

ALL things? All, even those things that make you anxious, make you feel like crying, make you angry, and make you sad. ALL things at ALL times. God is enough.
