6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This is something I don't do well. I don't give him my every thought and concern I have on my mind. Paul is pretty clear, don't be anxious about anything and in EVERY situation go in prayer put your requests to Him. I've recently said I was going to try to improve my prayer life, I have but only a very marginal improvement. Today is a reminder with any anxiety I feel I need to say a quick prayer to begin to make this like our chapter a day...to create a habit that is just a part of who I am.
I'm with ya brotha.
ReplyDelete11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
ReplyDeleteI like this part as well. It ties in nicely to most of the things that make me anxious. I need to learn to be content.
