Be not anxious of any thing

Philippians 4:6 - Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

In continuation to yesterday's message, the Lord wants us not to be anxious of any matter. Through this scripture we are asked to take all matters bothering us as a petition in our prayer to Him. But while praying we should not get stuck with our petition, having faith move on and worship, praise and give thanks to Him.

Prayer for most is like a request window where blank forms are filled and submitted. Prayer is communicating with the Lord, wherein many other activities should also happen.

After making a prayer many feel an immediate delivery should happen. It is not that it does not happen, but there are times it may take some time before your prayer gets answered, therefore we should learn to be patient. But the Lord assures us one thing immediately after a prayer of faith and that is - the peace of Lord Jesus Christ.


[ Prayer Starter ]

Father God, You love me and bend your ears towards me to hear and answer my prayer. You know when and how best to answer. But I know You will not keep me waiting for long. I thank You in advance and praise your Holy Name for answering my prayer. I make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
