Do Not Be Anxious about anything...

 Hello everyone!  This week's Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge is  hosted by  Lisa, and she used Phil. 4:4-7 "Rejoice in the Lord always.  I will say it again" Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evident to all.  The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, 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."  Lisa challenged us to made a card or project about prayer and/ or peace.  

Well, it so happens, that Our Daily Bread designs just released their Second Anniversary Design Team Scripture Sets last month, and the verse I submitted was Phil. 4:6.  I HAD to use it today!!!  The verse is from Scripture Collection 3 and the praying hands image in the background is from the set  "Lift Up Our Hands".   We live in days that are filled with uncertainty... many are out of work or worried about losing a job, many have serious illness and pain, others have suffered through disasters like huge earthquakes, fires, tsunamis,  horrific loss of loved ones, and so many other things... there is worry and anxiety all around us.  I find such comfort in knowing that there is nothing that I can't take to the Father in prayer.... nothing!  He knows our needs, and He promises not necessarily that all will be the way we'd like it to be... not that everything will be easy... but that He will give us the grace we need to get through each trial, and that He has only our best interest in mind, even through the trials.  He loves us with an unfailing love, one we can't even fathom.  When we truly reach that point where we can turn everything over to Him... He does fill our hearts and minds with a peace that does transcend all understanding.  I hope you feel that peace today!

I used a Papertrey dark chocolate base, then dp by Anna Griffith.  I stamped the image with VersaMark Cinnamon and the verse with Chocolate Chip.  The verse is stamped on Vellum which overlays the image, and I added ZVA Creative Pearls.  The chocolate edges are cut with my new T Holtz Sizzix Edge  Die.  The ribbon in Papertrey perfect match chocolate and to embellish that I stamped the praying hands on Shrink Film and baked it.
