Faith & Love: A One Year Bible Reading Plan - Part 2Sample

Today’s Scripture is Philippians 4:6-7 which reads:

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Anxiety affects all of us at some point in our lives, and it can be overwhelming to think about all the things we have to worry about. However, in these verses, Paul reminds us that we don't have to carry our burdens alone. When we present our requests to God with thanksgiving, we can trust that He will give us the peace we need.

Two main points to take away from these verses are:

1. We should not be anxious about anything. Instead of allowing our worries to consume us, we should turn to God in prayer and petition. He is the one who can help us find peace amid our struggles.

2. The peace of God is available to us when we present our requests to Him. We can trust that He will guard our hearts and minds, even when we don't understand how everything will work out.

These verses remind us that we don't have to face our worries alone. When we turn to God, He will give us the peace to navigate difficult times. Remembering this will help us overcome our anxiety.

• How would my daily life change if I trusted the Lord with every worry, every anxiety, and everything in my life?
• How can I be filled with the peace of God during my times of trouble?
• How will my world change if I let God's peace transform me?
