Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)
Be careful for nothing,
Paul tells believers at Philippi and us not to worry about anything. I know it is hard to follow this advice but let’s see how we can follow his counsel.

Paul also tells us to pray about everything, no matter how small it may seem. A friend and I pray when we discover we have misplaced our car keys. We sometimes hear of or face circumstances that we can’t do anything about except pray for that need.

Paul describes God’s peace as being far greater than we can imagine or understand.

Because we learn to rely on God, that peace we receive will protect our hearts and our minds through His Son, Jesus Christ. When we receive that peace, we feel better about ourselves and those for whom we pray.

Thank you so much for writing this practical blogpost! I read this on the internet (written by Spurgeon); "If you tell your troubles to God you put them into the grave. If you roll them anywhere else they will roll back again like the stone of Sisyphus. Cast your troubles where you have cast your sins, into the depths of the sea."
ReplyDeleteI love that. Have a nice day!
Aritha; Thank you for your warm comment and for your Spurgeon quote. His words tell the truth. We do sometimes allow our issues to come back on us. Peace and blessings.
