Turn Your Worries Into Prayers

Writer: Real Life ChurchReal Life Church

Phillipian 4:6-7 CSB "Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."


Worry is anxiety. Prayer is the antidote for worry. I heard Joyce Meyers once said "Worry is a down payment on something that hasn't happened." Anytime we start to worry, have anxiety, fear, we need to turn those into prayers. I feel it is also a command for us not to worry.


Three words express different aspects of Prayer:

Prayer, a worshipful attitude

Petition, a need

and Request, the specific concern.


Thanksgiving shapes prayers with gratitude. In response, the peace of God brings power to endure. The peace surpasses knowledge, calming a troubling situation when explanations fail. Further, peace guards by keeping anxieties from hearts (choices) and minds (attitudes)


So today, keep in mind, when you start feeling that worry, that anxiety, that fear kick in, stop & pray. Recite scripture. Give God thanks & praise for something. He will give you the peace which surpasses all understanding & guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus!
