It's official!! It's the 1st day of July 2012!! Isn't that something? Including this month, there are only six months left in this year!! WOW!! I don't know if I should be excited or what!! Now, that we are in our seventh month, was there anything that you were petitioning God for the past six months? Or, is there anything you are asking God to do in the next six months?
Whatever it is don't allow yourself to get antsy and somewhat impatient. Pray to God and tell Him what's on your heart. From there, relax, let it go, and just thank Him in the name Jesus for answering your prayers. So, without further a due, this week's scripture is Philippians 4:6-7.
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."
I think I am going to enjoy this week's theme. I know....I say this every week. I just can't help it. I get so excited every week when it comes to sharing God's word.
Other Bible Translations for Philippians 4:6-7
"Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." (msg)
"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." (niv)
"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." (nlt)
"Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
