Don’t worry be peaceful. 

 

Phil. 4:6

NIV Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

 

NLT Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

 

….This does not say Don’t worry over the little stuff, don’t sweat the small stuff… but if it’s cancer, if you are in trouble with the IRS… if your marriage is on the rocks… well good luck. NOPE he says don’t worry about anything. 

 

Don’t worry, don’t fret, Don’t question, Don’t doubt, Don’t hesitate, Don’t get anxious, Don’t get nervous… Get the picture!

But instead in every situation…

Money problems

Family problems

health problems

job problems

People problems

Calendar problems

unanswered questions

too many options

Crushed for time 

But in everything present your requests (any request) to the Lord with thanksgiving…

with joy

with expectation

with faith

with gratitude

with confidence 

 

What does this do? verse 7

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

 

The peace that will go beyond what you can understand… because you came to God with complete faith. You had an issue, you came to God with thanksgiving (faith mindset) you expect his work on your behalf and now you can rest and have peace over it.  

 

You lose your job, you still get up in the morning and say ok God, I work for you and you are my source. I need the job you have for me, so I thank you in advance for that job, a job that has better hours, better pay and uses my gifting. Thanks for the job.

 

Your marriage is on the rocks. You say ok God we made a covenant before you. I need your help to honor that and I need your grace in my marriage. Help me be a better husband and help me love my wife. Thank you for a great and Godly marriage. 

 

These prayers push fear out of your life and bring Gods peace… Have you ever gone to a movie… but someone tipped you off. They say “its an awesome movie… you are going to think you hate it, but the ending is perfect so just relax”. So you go to the movie and while everyone else in the theatre is biting their nails you can relax because you know that all will end with Winnie the Pooh… or Rambo, your choice. 

 

When you pray you act on the same premise. I can relax now, because I know everything will be just fine and you experience that mystic peace that is just completely undefinable.
