Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to
God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (ESV) Philippians 4:6-7
There are many things in our lives that may cause anxiety,
worry, disturbance, sleep less nights, pressures and so on. However, we believers
of Christ should not allow any situations to just take away our focus from God.
Our victory and peace come from the presence of God. Therefore, we should take
all the things that make us anxious to God in prayer and worship. From different
examples from our Bible, we can confidently say that prayer and worship bring
victory and peace in every situation in our lives even if you have situations like
Daniel in lion’s den, Joseph in prison, Jehoshaphat in battle etc. As we pray
and worship, God releases heavenly peace over us which surpasses all our natural
understanding about every crisis. It just guards our hearts and minds (emotions
and thoughts) in Christ Jesus. Jesus already purchased our peace on the cross. We
just need to trust him through prayer and worship which will release peace in a
greater measure over our lives.
