“Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for every- thing you need, always giving thanks. And God’s peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:6-7 (NCV)
I have lately found myself in a situation that cause worry and even fear. People I love are in danger or are hurting and it’s scary. But the Bible tells us to not fear.. to not worry about ANYTHING! What falls under “anything”? Well I don’t know about you but I can’t think of anything that doesn’t fall under anything.
Something else I wanted to touch on is God’s peace. It says a peace so great we cannot understand it… How awesome is that?!
Let me give you an example of this awesome peace. When I was about 14 or 15 I was having boy troubles (as many 14/15 year olds do) I didn’t know what to do. I was trapped in a relationship that wasn’t healthy and I didn’t want to be in. I remember one night I lay in my bed thinking about everything, my pillow was soaked with tears and I started to pray. I prayed that God would hold me and give me peace and calm me. A lot of scary things were happening and I was terrified. As I continued to pray I began to realize I wasn’t scared anymore - I felt a peace come over me and with that peace I felt that I was being held. I fell asleep in the arms of my savior that night. I don’t understand what happened and I don’t know how or why, but what I do know is this: I felt that peace that night and I can testify that this verse (along with the rest of the Bible) is so very true.
So next time you feel afraid or worried ask God to give you peace. He won’t disappoint you. :)
