With Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving

One of my favorite Scriptures on prayer is Philippians 4:6-7, which reads: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Knowing we would all want more peace, Paul gives us great insight into how to go about getting just that. We are encouraged to remain prayerful, and do so with a spirit of gratitude, as those are the means of a peaceful heart and mind. Remember, there is nothing too small to pray about. So, let God know all of your requests—while adding thankfulness into the mix—and the God of peace is sure to be near. Now that’s something to pray about!
