“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:6
Text — Philippians 4:4-7
Message
The Lord has commanded us not to worry. God knows everything and sees everything that happens to us. He has the power to turn every situation around for our good. We need to recognize God’s powerful hand in our daily problems and stop worrying over anything. Once you have prayed to God over any issue, let God handle it and do not worry.
When we worry, we talk to ourselves. When we pray, we talk to God. We focus on our circumstances when we worry, but we focus on God when we pray. When we pray, handover the problem to God, thank Him and stop worrying, then the peace of God fills our hearts and life.
In every situation that comes our way therefore, we are not to worry but pray, bring our needs to God, thank Him because He is able to take over the problem and the peace of God will fill our hearts. It is only children of God that can pray and have the peace we are talking about. If you are not a friend of Jesus yet, confess your sins to Jesus, repent and accept Jesus into your heart. Then you can pray and have the peace of God.
