Anxious, for what?

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; - (Philippians 4:6)

What does anxious for nothing means? It's simple. It means don't worry about anything. It seems easier said than done. Bottom line, God does not wants us to worry. He wants us to come to Him in prayer and to supplicate or transfer your anxieties to Him. However, you must do it with thanksgiving and prayer. Jesus said in Matthew 6:25 & 34, "I say to you, do not worry about your life. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

If Jesus said not to worry, then we shouldn't. You have to let your requests be made known to God. Tell God what you want and need. Even though God knows, hears, and sees all, He still wants to hear your heart's desire straight from your mouth. You have to open up your mouth and ask. Read what the bible says happens, when you ask God what you want or need,
"Ask, and it will be given to you;... For everyone who asks receives,." (Matthew 7:7-8) "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:22)


When you are anxious for nothing, but in everything you pray and supplicate with thanksgiving, and let your requests be made known to God, then the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
