Scripture Saturday ~ Philippians 4:6,7 ~ Pray about everything! ~ Freedom from Anxiety
12:00 AMSaturday, January 12, 2019
Welcome to Scripture Saturday!
This coming week's memory verse is Philippians 4:6,7...
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (NLT)
Paul does not tell us that all our problems will go away. We aren't told that we will immediately understand the circumstances we are dealing with. We aren't even told that the problem will won't seem to get worse before it gets better. BUT we are told that the anxiety and worry we are experiencing will be replaced with peace. If we turn to God worry gives way to faith, anxiety gives way to a calm confidence.
Have you ever experienced the peace described in Philippians 4:7? What do you think this peace guards against? How might your life be different if you experienced it more often?
Have a blessed day and week everyone!
