Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything with 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.
For the object lesson we tried to mix oil (worry) and water, which was colored to see it better, (trust in God) together.
As you can see, and probably already knew, they don't mix. I thought this was such a great reminder that if we truly believe that God is control , is looking out for us and has a PERFECT plan for our lives there absolutely is no need to worry! So often in our lives we tend to worry thinking that we're improving the situation by milling over it in our minds when really we are just not trusting that God is who He says He is.
Well after our lesson we started making sure the kids had the scripture right, understood what words were in it and that they weren't messing up any of the words. Joey, of course, said she wanted to go first because she was not about to be outdone by anyone else in the family. ;) She started in on the scripture and was doing great and then she hit the middle of the verses. Instead of saying "And the peace of God", she says as loudly and as confidently as she could, "and the pizza guy". We all busted out laughing and the scripture has never been the same since. :)
Now not only is pizza one of our favorite meals but the pizza guy has inherited super hero powers.

So the next time you start to worry remember that God's got it ALL under control!!!! Oh and also remember to tip the pizza guy well because you never know when you'll need him to save your life. :)
