“Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God which passes all understanding will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  - Phillippians 4:  6-7

 

I share with you the following meditation which comes from The Power of a Praying Woman Bible,

 

“Anxiety can come into our souls at any time.  And when it does we may look for any number of different ways to mask it.  But anxiety can only be quieted by the peace of God.  The moment we receive Jesus, we have access to his peace, which is beyond all understanding (Phillippians 4:7).  When you turn to Him, He can give you peace about who you are, what you are doing, and where you are going in your life.  He can give you peace about your past, present, and future.  He can give you peace about your circumstances regardless of what they are.

 

Even though life is unpredictable and too often filled with fearful things, God says that we don’t have to live in fear.  At the first sign of anxiety we can seek the peace of God – in His Word, in prayer, and in praise and worship – and we are assured we will find it.”

 

Our lives and thoughts can be filled with reasons to worry.  We can find ourselves overcome with anxiety.  What an invitation this is for us!  Take everything to God in prayer and thanksgiving and, in return, He promises peace.   Thank you God!
