Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
لا تهتموا بشيء بل في كل شيء بالصلاة والدعاء مع
الشكر لتعلم طلباتكم لدى الله.
وسلام الله الذي يفوق كل عقل يحفظ قلوبكم وافكاركم في المسيح يسوع
Philippians 4:6-7
Anxiety
distracts the mind from communion with God. ‘Our anxiety does not
empty tomorrow of its sorrow…but empties today of its strength’ (Charles Spurgeon)
The word
nothing means it excludes any reason. No reason is exempt and we are not
allowed to worry about anything. This means that we are to pray about
everything. Through thankful prayer we can declare to God our anxious thoughts
and have faith that He will fill our hearts and mind with His peace when we
leave our anxieties at The Cross.
I invite you to repeat the
following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord, You know
exactly where I am emotionally and mentally and I know as per Jesus’ promise
You will comfort me. Help me to practice growing still before You Lord. I dwell
on Your goodness knowing You never fail me.
Father, I believe that sometimes You do allow the pressures of life to
build so that I can learn how to deal with them from a position of faith and
not fear. Thank You for not condemning me for my
feelings, and for providing wisdom for all I face. Strengthen me so as not to feel anxious and
to be always thankful so that Your peace which surpasses all comprehension,
will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Jesus Loves youIn Him,
Wagdi Henein
