thanks

Don't think about the personal disqualifiers you have with this passage, nor think about the usual "yeah, but..." that we think of. Just take it for what it says & think about what it can mean if we REALLY believe this...

Philippians 4
6 Don't worry about anything;

          instead, pray about everything.

Tell God what you need,

           & thank Him for all He has done.

If you do this,

     you will experience God's peace,

                     which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.

His peace will guard your hearts & minds as you live in Christ Jesus.


vs 13 For I can do everything w/ the help of Christ, who gives me the strength I need.


vs 19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which has been given to us in Christ Jesus.


Now what would happen if we told God everything we need & then thanked Him for taking care of it before He did it?

I heard a long time ago that God is more interested in our thanks than in our constant petitions. Iow, He's responds to us better if we thank Him for taking care of something rather than constantly nagging Him in repetitive petitioning.

Hmmmmmmmm...

So, instead of wrangling about our present situation & season, it would make better sense, & show more faith, if we just thanked Him for His provision for where we are as well as thank Him for what's ahead in His plans for the next season?
