“6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians 4:6-7
We pray for peace of mind, but do we know how to actually receive the peace that Jesus promised us? Let’s look at these verses one more time. Pray, tell God what you need, then thank Him for all He has done. Did you catch that? We need to thank God first, then we will receive God’s peace. Peace that the world cannot give and peace that world cannot take away.
We’re really good at asking God for help, but are we good at thanking Him for all that He does for us? God isn’t a genie that we just ask for things and He gives it to us. God is a person that is seeking a relationship with us, His Children. So during this pandemic don’t forget to give thanks to God for all that He has done for you and has given you, and He will give you His peace.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Give Thanks For All You Have.
