June 3, 2021 – Philippians 4:4-7

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.  Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:4-7.

We know when we are not anxious about anything, it is easy to rejoice. And the sure way to not be anxious about anything is to live in the presence of the Lord.  He will answer our prayers and provide Peace through Jesus Christ.

Relationships give us unrest. And in Jesus, our hearts and minds are safe and filled with love.  For we will think only of pure and lovely things with no anger or impatience.

Dear Lord God, I pray for patience and loving others. Guard my thoughts and acts, that they are pleasing to You.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Whether I face need, or have plenty, this I know.  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.  Philippians 4:13.  For our God will supply every need we have through Jesus Christ.  He is the Bread of Life, the sustenance and power through which we can truly say… And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.  To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. Philippians 4:19-20.

 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.  Psalm 23:6. 

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8.
