Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)

This beautiful passage has been my mantra the past couple of weeks. There is so much for us to be distracted by and so many things that we can focus our attention on, worry about and become anxious about. There are many circumstances that are out of our control and the more information we receive, the more intense our fear may become.

I experience this fear when I hear news about politics. There is so much news about conversations, lifestyles, platforms, goals and the more I hear, the more anxious I can become about where we are headed, who will be voted into office, how that will affect our nation, my family, my church….see how it goes? This verse gives very clear instruction about the proper response to this fear! PRESENT YOUR REQUEST TO GOD! It is not in my control. There is nothing I can do to affect the outcome…the best thing I can do is petition God.

I am sure you have a situation in your life that makes you feel helpless. It may be a loved ones choices, a medical condition, a job situation, a financial situation or a concern about a friend. Those are all circumstances that you cannot change. You need this verse and you need to take it to heart and apply it to your life.

God will give you peace if you give Him your concerns, worries and fears! His perfect peace is a great exchange for the turmoil of fear!

Thank you so much for your continued prayer for Priscilla McGruder! I spoke to her yesterday and she sounds great! Her intensive Cancer treatment includes chemotherapy and they added radiation this week. She appreciates all of your prayers and concern!
