Be Anxious For Nothing

Philippians 4:6–7(KJV 1900) — 6Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Certainly this has been a life passage for me and countless others who may have struggled with anxieties....it took me quite some time to understand the significance of "telling myself to shut up" haha....my feelings are not me....I'm the one who experiences those feelings....and I am to be at peace with God and with the world around me...I CAN be at peace with God and the world around me Praise the Lord! 

I struggled with getting from point a to point b....He says simply "Be careful [anxious] for nothing"!! pray and be thankful....just do it AMEN....we need to remind ourselves daily that things that may have happened to us in the past, although we learn some life lessons from them, have no bearing on who we are in Christ Jesus....Paul mentioned that he himself learned to "put the past behind him".....we should do the same 

God's peace [through the power of His Spirit] is above and beyond understanding....Steven being stoned to death [recorded in Acts Chapter 7] never uttered any harsh words....no "ouch you idiots"!! came from his blessed lips....he asked the Father to forgive them just as our Lord did on the cross....why?? the peace of God was manifest in his soul and he was at peace with God and the world around him, even though his body was about to leave this old earth....He could say with the Apostle Paul: 

1 Corinthians 15:55–58(KJV 1900) — 55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

God bless your day!
