| Notes: | Day 9 - PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7 (NIV) - “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace that transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
We all have had problems with family or friends. I have tried often to be a peace maker, but it just has not worked. In fact, things got worse instead of better.
You see, I did everything except the right thing and that caused me to be very anxious about the situation.
So I sat down one day and just said, “Lord, I need your help to understand what to do.”
I asked others to pray for my family and me.
When I turned it over to Him by prayer and petition, His peace came into my heart, and I realized I could not handle the problem alone.
Following this message of Philippians 4: 6-7 and presenting your needs to God will replace anxiety with the peace that He will give you.
