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.
Paul wrote these words from prison. His secret was prayer mixed with thanksgiving. Gratitude reminds us of God’s past faithfulness while we bring Him today’s needs.
God’s peace stands guard over hearts that pray.
Prayer
Father, I bring You my requests with thanksgiving. Guard my heart and mind with Your perfect peace. Amen.
