Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6 (NIV)
The Worry You Never Mention
Some worries feel too small to bring to God. You’ve mentioned them so many times that you’re embarrassed to say them again, so you stop.
Paul’s instruction leaves no room for that. In every situation, he says, bring your requests to God with thanksgiving, the big ones and the one you’ve decided is beneath his notice.
And he says what comes with it. The peace of God, beyond anything we can understand, will guard your heart and your mind. A guard stands watch while the trouble goes on, and his peace works that way.
Say the small thing to him this morning.
A Prayer to Remember
Lord, it’s the same small worry again, and I stopped mentioning it because I could hear how it sounded. Here it is. Thank you for listening, and guard my heart today.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
