“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians 4:6–7
One day I was filled with anxiety about various things. My husband sent me this scripture to remind me of the protection that I have in Jesus. As I read this scripture over and over, I began to break it down like this:
Do not be anxious or worry about anything.
What should I do instead?
Talk to God. Share your desires with Him. Ask him to help you according to His will. And in your sharing and asking, be thankful that He has already done what you have asked even if you don’t see it yet.
When should I do this?
All the time, in every situation.
What will happen if I do this?
The Lord will guard your mind with His peace, which is beyond what your intellect can understand or comprehend. That same peace, which belongs to Him, will also reassure and protect your heart.
How is this possible?
The result of you accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, is that you are now in Him and He is in you. Now, the assurance and protection of peace that belongs to Him, is now yours!
