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 comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
I love it! Prayer is to worry what an antibiotic is to be nagging infection. Such communion with God recognizes His all-encompassing power and authority right up front. Worry-zapping prayer is also supplication, which is passionate praying, like Jesus in Gethsemane. The prayer that overwhelms worry is also thanksgiving.
As we are grateful for past blessings, we gain assurance for the future. If you’re God’s child through Christ, you don’t have to indulge your anxieties away in worldly things but rather pray them away.
It works, I do it, thank you Jesus! It’s truly then that you can serve with a pure heart and a hearty passion in the season of thanks. Now go and smile at someone today, let someone else go first, share the Gospel, be Jesus to someone today! If you want to receive a blessing, go be a blessing!
