Philippians 4:6,7:
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus. (vs 7)
Want that kind of peace? Look now at the prior verse:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, with prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (vs 6)
God’s peace that passes all our understanding is available to us as we bring our concerns before the Lord in prayer!

This devotional thought of the day springs from an Our Story found at Given the Time.
You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant doesn’t know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
Friendship is powerful…and friendship with God? Incredible! Meditate on the gift God has given us by offering friendship to us.

This devotional thought for the day springs from an Our Story found at Given the Time.
Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
God cares deeply about the details of our lives. He knows when we are suffering and He hears when we call on His Name. Step forward in your day with the comfort that God hears our prayers.
