ASAP

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made know to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” ~~Philippians 4:6~~

Ever been caught up in a situation where you wanted something and you wanted it right away? Do the notable words "as soon as possible" seem to ring any bells in your life?

It's amazing how, in a twinkling of an eye, something or someone crosses our path and outright fascinates us . . . and Wow! There're no ifs or ands or buts about it, we want it and we want it ASAP!

And when we don’t immediately get what we want, we yield to stress. In some cases, we can't eat, can't sleep, can't concentrate. While overly-anxious, we subject ourselves to a host of unhealthy worries and stress.

What is it that causes our hearts and minds to become so anxious and yearn so strongly for mortals and materialistics? Why do we allow the things of this world to consume us to the point that we loose sight of all logical, not to mention godly, reasoning?

In the book of Philippians, God’s Word outlines exactly what we should do. In making our request known to God by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, we are assured "peace." Peace beyond anything we could ever imagine.

Instead of being anxious, be prayerful. And expect the peace of God . . . ASAP.


Peace I leave with you . . .
