“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will feel God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” {Philippians 4:6,7 NLT}

Thank you, Lord, that we don’t need to worry about anything. We are grateful for the gift of prayer. We long for the peace you have promised us ~ the perfect peace that only you can provide. We know full well that your peace is more than our human minds can really comprehend. Please give us that peace today as we face whatever trials come our way. Guard our hearts and our minds as we commit our lives to you. In the precious name of the one who gave it all, Jesus. Amen.

“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life — whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?” {Matthew 6:25-27}
