Prayer, Thanksgiving, Praise
Be careful for nothing, but in everything 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. (Philippians 4:6-7)
No care but all prayer. No anxiety but much joyful communion with God. Carry your desires to the
Lord of your life, the guardian of your soul. Go to Him with two portions of prayer and one of fragrant
praise. Do not pray doubtfully but thankfully. Consider that you have your petitions, and therefore
thank God for His grace. He is giving you grace; give Him thanks, Hide nothing. Allow no want to lie
rankling in your bosom; "make known your requests." Run not to man. Go only to your God, the
Father of Jesus, who loves you in Him.
This shall bring you God's own peace. You shall not be able to understand the peace which you shall
enjoy. It will enfold you in its infinite embrace. Heart and mind through Christ Jesus shall be steeped
in a sea of rest. Come life or death, poverty, pain, slander, you shall dwell in Jesus above every
rolling wind or darkening cloud. Will you not obey this dear command?
Yes, Lord, I do believe thee; but, I beseech thee, help my unbelief.
