Thought for Today: Pray About Everything

“Be anxious for nothing, 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 minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

Only prayer can release us from the paralysis of anxiety, because only God can release us from its grip. Peace of mind is the greatest evidence that we’re being healed, which is what happens when we turn our anxieties, worries, and stress over to God. 

The Bible says, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you” (1 Peter 5:7, NLT).

We need to pray about whatever it is that has us stressed. If we took the time to pray about everything that stresses us out, then we’d have a lot less to stress about.
