Headed out early today with my Aunt to visit some relatives. My thermos is filled with Door County Pumpkin Spice Coffee. We attended church last night as we usually do. I hope as you read this you have either been to church or are headed there.
I would like to share some information I found on Wikepedia about a product I use. This is not an endorsement of the product. Many people use "Pepto". It is part of what I pack when I leave for mission trips to combat stomach ailments from bad water or any other stomach bugs I pick up.
Pepto-Bismol is an over-the-counter drug currently produced by the Procter & Gamble company in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, to treat minor digestive system upset. Its active ingredient is bismuth subsalicylate. The primary symptoms aided by Pepto-Bismol are nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea, and other temporary discomforts of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract.
Pepto-Bismol is made in chewable tablets[1] and swallowable caplets,[2] but is best known for its original formula which is a thick liquid. This original formula is a medium pink color with a strong wintergreen or cherry flavor.
Many of us suffer each day from what I call a nervous stomach or the daily pressures of life. We turn to over the counter cures. I am suggesting that today we look at "in the Bible cures".
Here are some gospills ready for you to use when worried or nervous.

- “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

- He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:4 NIV
- So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 NIV
- “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
- And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 NIV
- The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. Psalm 28:7 NIV
- I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2 NIV
- They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD. Psalm 112:7 NIV
- Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding Proverbs 3:5 NIV
- There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place. Deut 1:31 NIV
- Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, 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. Phil 4:6-7 NIV
Have a worry free day.
