Sunday morning

Phllippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Phl 4:5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Phl 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Phl 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Phl 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.
Phl 4:9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.


Here we have a promise.
We present our needs and requests to God. We are not promised physical stuff we may need at that moment, but what we are promised is that the peace of God will be with us.
Having peace within yourself is important. That is the greatest need there is in the world.
That is why there are so many self help books out there.
If you have peace in yourself, you can handle anything.
As he says later in the chapter.
He can do all things through Christ.
