“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” - Philippians 4:6 (NLT)
This is not the first or second or even third time we’ve looked at this promise from God. But repetition is good for us. Just as our Enemy seeks to devour and destroy, we know it is done repeatedly with anxiety. We become disturbed with worry over matters that appear very important. Our eyes shift from God’s promises to our concerns and doubt becomes a force we do not need. So, we are reminded again, this time using the New Living Translation. Notice the inclusion of ‘thank him’ in our verse. One of the things we are thankful for when we tell God what we need are His promises. The promises God has given to us are the ammunition in the artillery that is our unbelief missile defense. It is good for us to load up on our ammo so that we are ready and practiced when the attacks of worry and anxiety come at us. In the next few days we will look at eight promises from God that He has given to us for our defense against various anxiety. We are told here, “Don’t worry about anything;” God’s promises enable us to abide by that instruction.
