The Promise of Peace
Philippians 4:6-7

 

  1. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
  2. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding; shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 

Be careful for nothing.  The Amplified Bible says, "Do not fret or have anxiety about anything..."  He then tells us what to do instead of worrying.  In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  Instead of worrying-pray.  Let God know what you need with an attitude of thanksgiving (we can be thankful about it because He is the supplier of our needs).

When we do what verse 6 says then we have the promise of verse 7, which is that the peace of God which is greater than all understanding will keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  God’s peace is greater than anything we can understand.  It will bring rest to our hearts and minds.  Has your mind ever gone haywire worrying about problems?  That doesn’t have to happen any more!

 

Confession:

I will not be anxious or worry about anything!  I will do what the Bible says and pray with thanksgiving and make my requests known to God.  As a result the great peace of God will keep my heart and mind restful and calm!

 

 

Obedience is a tree of life!
