“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

-Philippians 4:6-7

A living prayer of life and the promise of peace:

God is a good, good father. In many ways in our lives, God demonstrates that he cares and that he listens. He calls us not to be anxious; this is a command, not an option we can take. God commands us not to worry; instead, he calls us to talk about everything on our minds and in our hearts. He wants us to collaborate in prayer even when he already knows. He promised to give us peace of mind and heart, but we need to open up, surrender, and let go of what holds us.
