Present Your Requests to God

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, 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

I picture my worry-ing-type loved ones reading this and laughing out loud, then looking around frantically for the old ‘candid camera’ guy. Not be anxious??? About ANYTHING? But this is election week!! Look at the state of our union. It needs to be addressed! Everything is topsy-turvy and covered in argumentative slime.

But really read this verse…give your worries to God, thanking Him for them, knowing that He will answer you, giving you supernatural peace - HIS peace. And then He will protect your mind against continual worry. It is almost impossible to comprehend.

I know I’ve said this before, but I find that asking God to trade my anxiousness for His peace will calm my jets. When that ugly head of the snake reappears, I trade again and again and again until I can rest in Him.

So very thankful that God never tires of our fussiness. We think we have much to worry about, but God is bigger than all of it. True peace is only found in Him.
