“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
Philippians 4:6 (NIV)
This verse is a call to action!
Feeling anxious - pray.
Thinking that you are about to feel anxious - pray.
Thinking about thinking about feeling anxious - pray.
In every situation present your requests to God.
Thank Him for His love.
Thank Him for being King over your situation.
Thank Him for telling us to go to Him with everything.
The verse that follows is a wonderful promise of peace.
Not peace as in quiet, or as in everything finishes well, or everything goes my way.
NOPE.
Peace as in you can’t explain how you feel that way.
There is no earthly reason for the peace you experience.
But there is a heavenly reason!
You are in Christ Jesus, and God’s peace floods your soul.
I may lose everything and everybody on earth - but I will never lose Jesus.
Why won’t we pray?
Do we like being anxious?
Why won’t I pray right now?
