Day 13

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 KJV


In Philippians 4, Paul reminds us that in every situation in life—whether significant or trivial—we can confidently ask God to meet us in our anxiety through prayer. Furthermore, Paul encourages us to express gratitude in advance, trusting that God will guard our hearts and minds with His unique peace. Although life may sometimes feel tumultuous, the same God who created everything knows us personally and continuously provides a peace that surpasses all understanding. As Christians, we need not be immobilised by anxious thoughts if we remember to pause for prayer and praise for peace.

As you take time to pray and fast today, consider which situations you need to present to God to experience His overwhelming and incomparable peace.
