Scripture:
“Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 NET
Observation:
There is a promise here in the Scripture. It says that the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus when we, in every situation, are not anxious, but pray and petition with thanksgiving. Our job in this is to relax and bring our prayers to God, then we can expect to walk in God’s incredible peace. We should be full of peace and not anxiety because we are people of prayer.
Application:
We have to learn to relax and bring our needs to the Lord in prayer. When life gets stressful, we must bring it to God with thanksgiving, then we are promised that God’s peace will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. When we do our part, God does His. I want to walk in God’s peace, which surpasses all understanding. I want to see the fulness of His goodness in my life.
Prayer:
Lord God, You are mighty and awesome! You are incredible and I love serving You. Help me to leave anxiety behind and to walk in Your peace at all times. Help me to relax during the stressful times and know that You are in control. Teach me to pray effectively and to walk in Your surpassing peace.
Yours,
Jeff
