Scripture
“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6 ESV
Observation
Replace anxiety with prayer, bringing your request to the Lord with thanksgiving.
Application
Each day brings with it challenges and concerns. We have a choice to make; either we will respond with anxiety or prayer. Concerns for our children, frustrations we face at work, or changing life seasons will all stir a sense of anxiety. May we turn these challenges into a prayer yielded to our sovereign Lord and full of thanksgiving for His care for us.
Prayer
Lord in my everyday life may I turn the cares of this life into a prayer for your guidance. Instead of responding with worry and anxiety may I respond with a grateful heart for your tender mercy and peace.
