Be Anxious For Nothing

“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 understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”  - Phil. 4:6-7

The only way to be anxious for nothing is to surrender everything to God. We can cast our cares onto Him because He cares for us. He hears our cries, understands what we are going through, and carries us through the storms of life by His grace. His supernatural peace guards our hearts and minds, protecting us from anxiety and fear.

Though God is all-knowing, we should make our requests known to Him to gain insight into our own hearts. Our thoughts become clearer, and our fleshly frustrations and desires diminish. As we pour out our hearts to Him, our intimacy with Him grows, and thanksgiving replaces worry. Whatever we think, feel, or experience, we can express to the Lord.

Prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue. We seek to hear Him and receive His wisdom. Knowing that God hears us and can help us empowers us to stop paying attention to our own thoughts and the lies of the enemy. Let's make our requests known to Him and receive that peace which surpasses all understanding. In God’s care, we remain carefree,  from glory to glory!
