Philippians 4:6–7 (NKJV) — 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Don’t worry…Pray!
Pray about what? Everything
It is easy to trust God when everything is going well in our lives! What do we do when life falls apart? Pray…Trust God…in every aspect of life.!
Think the thoughts of God – Philippians 4:8–9
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
- What we think we become
- Where we keep our mind is where we are
- Our thoughts shape our behavior
- What we do is what we think
William Barclay wrote, “it is a law of life that, if a man thinks of something often enough and long enough, he will come to the stage when he cannot stop thinking about it. His thoughts will be quite literally in a groove out of which he cannot jerk them.”
