“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)
Our God in heaven wants us to look toward Him and to depend on Him for our needs. Our promise today is a promise of peace that is beyond our understanding. No matter what our circumstances or needs we face we are called here to not be anxious about anything. Now, this may be a difficult principal but we are told that for those things that we might be anxious for, we are to bring them to our God in prayer. As we bring them we present both our petitions – or supplication, since that is a petition offered humbly for a need. With the petition we offer our thanksgiving because we know that God, who has promised to hear, is listening and He cares about us. God will respond with His peace and that peace will guard our hearts and minds from being anxious. God's offer of peace comes to us when we take our troubles, needs, and worries to him in prayer and when we cease to be anxious. What is our concern today? Let's bring it to God and let Him know and let's be thankful because we know He cares.
