The book of Philippians 4:6-7 says, “ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. ” And the verse seven reads “ and the peace of GOD which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and minds through Jesus Christ.” When faced with a challenge or crisis, our tendency, is to get all anxious about it, but God does not want us to react that way. He does not want us to be anxious about anything. Instead, whatever the problem may be, He wants us to come to him in prayer and supplication, telling him what we need and thanking him for an answer.

Firmaments come to create ways, they come to create paths; and it came out of the Word of God. Let’s refresh our mind on how the Israelites escaped the Egyptians. They encountered an obstacle and couldn’t go further. They began to worry, and discomfort caught them such that, they said to Moses “Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wildern...
