If you question God's love for you, hear this: God SO loved us--Jesus came from Heaven's throneroom to live and die as a man, the only acceptable sacrifice to pay for your sins.

Co-host, Jackie Greene reminds us God calls us to live in unity with one another. She says:

"If we really are living in unity and how God calls us to do, then our anxiety level will be so much less... I dare say, zero."

Romans 12:18 puts it this way:

"If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all."

A fitting prayer:

"LORD, teach us to forgive. Amen."

God says: Don't worry; look at the birds. How can this simple act chase away anxiety that harasses the mind, fires emotions, and troubles the body? When we look at the birds, we learn: The same God who cares for the birds will care for me.

Val and her guest co-host, Jackie Greene, share how coming to God and lingering in His presence brings peace and provision into our lives.
