Rejoice always…Be anxious for nothing. Philippians 4:4-7

So quickly we can go from rejoicing to fretting! We’ve got to stay put in the Lord’s will to continue to sense the overwhelming protection from life’s many fears.

The answer is prayer. It keeps your eyes on the provider of peace, it keeps you constantly at his feet, it keeps you thankful for something good not yet provided, and confident enough to ask for what you need.

Chances are, when you do ask, you’ll be asking for what you should. Perhaps the most appropriate request is for peace. It’s easier than figuring out what you need. After all, that’s God’s job.
