Be Anxious for Nothing (4 of 4)
Eddie Snipes
Philippians 4:6-8
We are instructed to be anxious for nothing. Or another way of phrasing this according to the text is to not be troubled with cares. When we are born into God's kingdom, we have the assurance that God cares for our needs. God has a plan for us. The Bible says that God fashioned the days for me before I was born. When I surrender to Christ, that surrender includes giving God the controls of my life and letting Him lead be into the life He has fashioned for me. The only way be free from my anxieties is to rest confidently in His plan and submit to His will. Anxieties will not just disappear when I commit to trusting God. I must know His word and apply His word to my life. To be anxious for nothing, I must see God's goodness, present my cares before the throne of grace and leave my cares in God's hand. Lets begin by looking at what it means to let our requests be known through prayer, supplication and thanksgiving.
Prayer.
Prayer is talking to God. If there is one thing the devil wants you to be slack on, it is prayer. Everything must be done through prayer. If prayer is neglected, your spiritual life will be weak and what you are trying to do for God will be weak.
Look at Matthew 6: 5 " And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 7 "And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 "Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
God honors prayer that comes from the and not prayer or other action ...
