“Be anxious for nothing” Paul writes to the Philippians. How can we not be anxious? Is that even possible with what we see, read about and experience on a daily basis?
Yes, most certainly. Paul tells us how. “in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your requests known unto God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:6-7).
Have you noticed when you are anxious your heart is heavy, almost like you are grieving? Anxiety brings depression with it so that your minds are affected in a downward spiral. But as we turn to God, we know he has the power to do something about those things that trouble us. We know that he loves us. Therefore we are able to rest in him as we tell him about our requests.
