Billy Graham's Daily Devotion

A Thousand Anxieties

December 5, 2013

I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
–Psalm 34:4

Man has always been beset by worry, and the pressures of modern life have aggravated the problem. To men of all time Jesus said, “Take therefore no thought for the morrow . . . but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33–34). Many of you are filled with a thousand anxieties. Bring them to Jesus Christ by faith. He will bring peace to your soul and your mind.

Prayer for the day

Knowing You hear me, Lord, as I talk with You brings me peace in the midst of any storm.

Happy 93rd Birthday Mr. Billy Graham, I remember in the early 80's, can't remember what month. but you came to Denver, Co to the old Bronco Stadium and I made it a point to take myself and my little sister to listen to your beautiful message about the Lord. and I did commit to the surrender of my life, but unfortunately. Satan had other ideals for my life, so after 20 years of walking in the flesh. I made a total transformation this past March, at the age of 52 years old. I now walk in the spirit 24/7 with Jesus and his Father, Our Lord. I've been going to church where the structure is what I've been looking for all these years. and I was asked during a conversation in Bible Study, how and where did I first learned about this person, Called. Jesus. I must admit it was My Beautiful Grandmother Edalia. and as I was growing up. I saw your specials on T.V. thoughout the many years of my struggle, and was so moved that I just had to listen and be near you. so you have been a great person who I can always trust in what you are preaching. the truth shall set us free. and It Finaly did this past March, Bless you and your family this day of your Birth. may you have many more years on this earth, to spread the word. The faith/hope/love is what you have in your heart. From My Family to your's, again, Happy 93rd Birthday... Rachael Wels, Denver, Colorado

Dear Lord, thank you for paying the price for my sin. Thank you for shedding innocent blood for my sin. I just thank you for the grace you have given Lord. Who is like you? No one. Lord have thine way in my life. I belong to you. Refine me, my character to fit your kingdom while I am here on this earth.

I want to remember this just now as we are trusting the LORD to grant a visa for our son to be able to attend his brother's wedding in US. LORD, have mercy, be with him at the interview now and help me to get on with my task for YOU while trusting You'll be there with him.

Cheryl says 12.5.2010, 12:45 a.m.

My son is struggling. He is looking for a job and cannot find one and he seems to be very emotional about a lot of things right now, but is not the type of person to discuss what is going on. He told me yesterday that he did not want to grow up. He is 17. I would ask for prayers for him as he goes through this transition in his life.

Christopher says 12.5.2010, 12:35 a.m.

As I sit in my chair in front of my computer, I think about all of the debts that I have created, and I wonder if there is any way for God to help me through this. I know He is here with me and I know He loves me. All of my life I have had faith, but this time this trial has lasted for so long, and I have no idea what I am going to do.

Annette says 12.5.2010, 10:29 a.m.

This is the issue I have been dealing with, thank you.

W says 12.5.2010, 06:16 a.m.

Thank you , Rev Graham. A few hours ago, I just asked my pastor to pray for me to deliver me from emotional distress. A timely word. Thanks once again. God is good!

Thank you Lord for that peace of miind that surpasses all human understanding ................in any situation .

yvonne says 12.4.2010, 11:15 p.m.

For many years my anxieties were so bad I could barely leave my home, but as I began getting real with my faith and allowing christ to be my center they began to go away until one day I realized that the crippling anxietiy attacts were a thing of the past. I encourage all who are currently where I was to surrender to christ and become free!
