In Philippians 4:6-7 it says be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
You want to make sure that you are not being careful for nothing. I looked up the word careful in the concordance and it means to not be anxious, troubled with cares, to care for, lookout for, to seek to promote one's interest, and caring or providing for. Supplication means need, want, seeking, asking, interesting to God or man. Passeth means to have or to hold over one, to stand out, rise above, overtop, to be above, be superior in rank, the prominent man, rulers, to excel, to be superior, better than to surpass, and request means petition. I looked up these words because I know it is important to understand what these words mean as you read scriptures.
When you go back and read and meditate on this scripture, I want you to make sure you are really pray to God the way he is telling us to.
1. You should not be anxious when we pray or troubled with cares.
2. You want to pray with supplication and thanksgiving. (Always thank God for everything)
3.Let your request (petition) be known to God.
What's going to happen when you do this?
4. The peace of God which passeth all understanding will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Blessings,
