Philippians 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 hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This is a great passage, and given our current circumstances, I can totally relate.
I must admit that I struggle with being too anxious. However, when I decide to stop taking it on by myself, and instead give it over to God, he truly gives me a peace that surpasses understanding.
I believe that something powerful happens when we pray to God. And I am not just talking about the "God, please give me the new 47 inch flat screen TV" kind of prayer. I am talking about the kind of prayer where you are on your knees, praying to God because He is all you have left. This is the kind of prayer that comes after you realize that all other options have been exhausted and you feel like you are a mouse on an exercise wheel, running like crazy with nothing but exhaustion to show for it. Yeah, I have been there.
Prayer and petition - bringing a formal request while in communication with God.
Notice how the passage doesn't say that God will remove you from your troubles, but rather that the peace of God will guard your heart and mind. It's an amazing thing.
Try it! See what God does!

Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future...It's simply taking God at his word and taking the next step.
We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life, but those who make their journey home across time and miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands.
