 🔸️ Pray with thanksgiving! 🔸️

Paul reiterated the command of the Lord Jesus Christ in Philippians 4:6, “Do not be anxious…." The phrase "nothing to worry about" means "nothing to worry about". How, then, can we deal with the hardships and temptations that beset us daily? Do the matters that related to my children or family on tomorrow or next week, making me anxious? What should I do now? For this, in the same verse, Paul gave the answer. Yes, the answer is... "we should pray" immediately. That is not only the general prayer but “Let our petitions be made known to God through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving” 

(Philippians 4: 6).

Our petitions are the requirements that we specifically emphasize. When we let God knows our petitions, we should "praise" or "thank" Him. That is, we write a petition form to the Heavenly Father (writing down the problems that worrying us) and submit it to Him. When our Heavenly Father receives that form, we say "Thanks" to Him. Thus praising or thanksgiving is an unchanging sign of faith. A firm faith that God will accept my request and will surely do it!  

If you have done as Paul exhorted, he asserted, "The peace of God that is above all understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts within Christ Jesus."

 Prayer:

Heavenly Father! Please grant us the faith so that in every situation we will come closer to You, Lord by prayer, petition and with thanksgiving to receive Your peace in our hearts! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
