“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Php 4:6
What is the matter with Paul? Sounds purely simplistic when a tough, biting crisis is having its day. If this is to prove the big examining day of our faith, who will make an A? God’s children have faced crises after crises since Eden, dying in them. The dying is not as worrisome as maintaining the grit it takes to live through it. Consequently, when this text comes to our mind in the midst of a crisis as this that causes so much distraction, social disorder, and anxiety, our faith is greatly taxed to live up to its calling.
