“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7 KJV
Paul explains the power of thanksgiving prayer and the peace that comes from it, “Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.” Let no anxiety about anything distract us! Let’s translate these moments into prayerful worship, and let’s soak our requests in gratitude before God. Our requests don’t surprise God Who knows our thoughts from afar and is acquainted with all our ways - yet He delights in our conversation and childlike trust. In this place of worship and gratitude, we witness how the peace of God within us reveals our oneness with Christ Jesus beyond the reach of any thought that could possibly unsettle us. This is not a fragile sense of peace that can easily be disturbed, this is God’s peace, the peace that God Himself enjoys. It surpasses all our reasonings and it floods our hearts and minds with a tranquility that takes charge of our emotions and well-being in fragile times! Let’s enjoy God’s peace. Amen!
