A prescription for peace

[bluidkiti]

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

--Philippians 4:4-6

Do you need a little peace in your life?

The apostle Paul wrote some practical help for you in Philippians 4:4-9. Now keep in mind, he was in prison when he wrote it. So, Paul knew what he was talking about!

First, rejoice in all things. Paul knew how to keep from becoming calloused by life’s troubles. His life was full of God’s joy. Paul knew the importance of rejoicing and laughter.

Don’t worry. Trust God. Worry wastes your time and accomplishes nothing. Instead of being gripped by fear, worry, and stress, be gripped by the grace of God. Rest and relax in Him. He has promised to deliver you from all your fears.

Pray about everything. Really converse with God on a daily basis. Pray with an attitude of devotion and trust. That’s when prayer accomplishes something. When you pray, you won’t be immune from the problems of life, but you will be in touch with the Redeemer.
