Study: Philippians 4:6-7
Read: Chapter 4 of Rest Assured
Verse of the Week
How do we gain this peace that Christ can provide? How do we maintain it? Philippians 4 holds the answer: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (vv. 6–7 NIV).
Remember it this way: Peace = Prayer + Petition + Praise.
Challenge of the Week
Are you a worrier?
This week, I want you to catch yourself every time you begin to worry about something and apply the antidote – immediately begin to PRAY. PETITION God, but end your petition with a declaration of, “Your will be done…” After that, close with a PRAISE, and then leave your worries in God’s care. Do this over and over again every time you begin to worry. If you want to break a bad habit, you must substitute the bad habit with a new one.
