“Making My Request To The Most High”
Don’t worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart. And God’s peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus.
Brooke says:
When I think of this verse, and how God instructs us to not be anxious, to not fret but to submit ‘everything’ by prayer and supplication…it’s like I can take a deep breath. I know that I can make my request known to the MOST HIGH. He wants to hear me, He wants to relieve my fear and in exchange give me a peace that surpasses all understanding…whooa, another breath, but this one ends with a smile. And just when you think that the Father has done all for you, Hearing and giving peace, He tells me that He will guard my heart and my mind (which needs guarding) through Jesus Christ. God gave reliance on this word when my first son was very ill, born weak and premature….this mother’s heart had a peace from God that chased away the anxiety, and allowed the breath of God to breathe life-giving peace into me and my son!
