No Worries




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.

—Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT)


Heavenly Father,


Thank You, that I don’t have to waste one more moment of my time worrying about things—because You are the God who provides everything that I need and gives me peace beyond my understanding, as I live in Christ Jesus.


Help me to remember that the enemy will do everything in his power to cause me to believe the onslaught of lies that he would speak into my head—in an effort to override the truth that You have placed within my heart.

Help me to remember that You have given me a way to escape the torment, quiet the enemy, and receive Your peace—when I hold my thoughts captive and submit myself in faith to the truth of Your Word.

When that flood of negative thoughts assaults me, remind me to thank You for how You have always carried me through my life—miraculously providing for my every need and consistently working for my good.

Remind me to come to You with whatever is bothering me—trusting You to take the mess from me and fix it as only You truly can.

Help me to know that as much as I am able to leave it all in Your hands—as much as I am able to let go of my supposed control over things—so will Your peace be multiplied back to me.

Knowing how important it is to keep my heart and protect my mind, help me to live my life in Christ Jesus—so that Your peace will guard my heart and mind in Him.


Thank You, that I don’t have to waste one more moment of my time worrying about things—because You are the God who provides everything that I need and gives me peace beyond my understanding, as I live in Christ Jesus.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
