What are you thinking about?

Philippines 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

1. Do you BELIEVE it is possible to not be anxious about ANYTHING? In life, there will be trials, disappointments, heartaches, and belly aches! But, through it, do you think you can stop and think of what it would be like NOT to be anxious about ANYTHING?

2. Do you believe you can go to God in prayer in EVERYTHING?
There is nothing too big or too small for God. Sometimes we think that God will look down upon us if we pray for the little things. Sometimes we feel like we have to deal with problems ourselves, instead of praying first.

3. Do you believe that God's Peace will cover your understanding?
God's Peace promises to surpass our understanding of the whys and what's of life. He promises to give us peace that is everlasting. Peace is something that people search for through relationships, drugs, work, money, success, or significance. Peace is given by God. No one and nothing can give you lasting peace that will transcend all your understanding.

4. Do you believe that God can guard your heart and mind?
God promises that his peace will also guard our hearts and minds. I know in my life, my heart has lied to me. The Bible says your heart is deceitful and wicked. Proverbs also says to guard your heart above all else.
What about your mind? What do you think about? If your thoughts were on a public screen for all to see, what would people say?

Would they say you love God or money?
Would they say you are judgemental? Hypocrite? Lustful? Prideful?

5. Do you believe that God can HELP you get over ANYTHING?
We all sin. The truth is that all of us would be ashamed if someone looked at our thoughts. But that is not an to not GUARD our thoughts.

Next week, I will talk about how to guard your thoughts. Thanks for reading!
