Worry

Philippians 4:6-7
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Being careful for nothing is interpreted as not worrying or being anxious about anything. There are many instances in life when worry exceeds hope or joy. Worrying is a natural response to events with possible life-altering results, such as a loved done who is about to undergo a serious surgery or even dropping your last child off to a distant college. When situations as these enter our lives, it is imperative that we make our requests known to God. By praying to our Father, we can have full assurance that He will listen to our concerns and provide the needed comfort. When we entrust all our anxieties and fears into God's hands, we are able to receive that peace that only He provides, a peace that we cannot even put into words or understand. As long as we keep our focus on the LORD, He will sustain us.
