Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. --- Philippians 4:6-7 ESV v6 -Imagine never worrying about anything! It seems like an impossibility; we all have worries on the job, in our homes, at school. But Paul’s advice is to turn our worries into prayers. Do you want to worry less? Then pray more! Whenever you start to worry, stop and pray. v7 - God’s peace is different from the world’s peace (see John 14:27). True peace is not found in positive thinking, in absence of conflict, or in good feelings. It comes from knowing that God is in control. Our citizenship in Christ’s Kingdom is sure, our destiny is set, and we can have victory over sin. Let God’s peace guard your heart against anxiety. --- Life Application Study Bible notes Heavenly Father, Thank you for all that dYou have blessed me with. When my human wisdom tells me to worry, fill me with calming guidance and remind me to pray. I ask the Holy Spirit to prompt me to reach toward You in prayer in every situation. Remove the power that the world claims to hold over me, give it to You, its rightful owner. In Jesus Name, I pray. Amen
