“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 (NASB)

We have a verse today that is likely very well known. Most times it is used to teach us the value of not being anxious, or to not worry about anything. This is not something that is done with ease and it takes a great amount of practice. God provides the opportunities for us to practice by allowing challenging and difficult times to come into our lives. Today we are looking at another part of the verse. This part tells us what we can do to defeat being anxious and to replace the worry – by being thankful in all things when we pray and request help from God. Being thankful for the opportunity to trust His promises, especially when we are struggling with worry and anxiety. Thankfulness to God is a powerful and wonderful method of receiving help when we ask for it. And the promise we have is this – the peace of God becomes the guard of our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. It is beyond all our ability to comprehend just how God's peace becomes our guard, but it is promised to us by God and it comes after we have prayed with thanksgiving for all He has done and will do.
