“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
Philippians 4:6-7
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17). It all comes from You Lord. It is on my heart to be a father and a husband, to have for myself a wife to love and be loved by. But I see so much more room for necessary growth in my life. I do not want to end up with the wrong person, neither do I want to get into a relationship for the wrong reasons. Right now I see many things in my own heart that are unhealthy for any relationship. Certainly being in a relationship to fulfill my deeper felt needs is a wrong reason. I want my relationship to be built around holiness, one that has a single minded focus, and that is how close can we draw to You together.
I do not have to be anxious because You are trustworthy, and I can rest assure that You hear my prayers and are attentive to them. You have a plan for my future and my obedience to Your plan is my hearts desire. Please grant me the peace that You promise Lord, that I may fully rest in the knowledge that You have everything under control. Allow my spirit to be content with all things in life, so whether poor or rich, in love or alone, popular or hated, may I be content in my life in all things, giving You the glory and thanks for all provisions. And how am I to not worry about the things of this world? By being obedient to Your word, and by meditating on the things that are of you,
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
Philippians 4:8
