Worried and anxious? Take your concerns and requests to God in prayer, with thankfulness. Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation, with your Heavenly Daddy, who loves you. Wait and listen to what he has to say to you. He will give you his peace, a tranquil mind-the mind of Christ and his love will flood you, so there is no place for fear.
Turn off the negative news and instead think on God’s love for you and read his love letter to you, the Bible. When you choose to exchange the negative and anxious thoughts for how much God loves you, the world will no longer cause you worry and anxious thoughts. Leave your cares with him and see how he gives you peace and answers your requests.
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 experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:6-9 NLT)
