"It came to pass"

Phil4:6 Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything
[every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with
thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And
the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which
transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours].

Are you a worrier or a Warrior? Prayer Warrior that is. The Bible has

simple instruction on how to deal with the things of life. Prayer is

powerful. Many times we bet caught up in the drama of life, the chaos that

other people bring into our lives. In EVERY situation we are to pray with

thanksgiving and make SPECIFIC request. Sometimes it seems as though we are

flooded with everything in the world at one time. Financial difficulties,

problem in relationships past and present, loneliness, decisions about

school, how to handle children, being a single parent, and so many other

"things". Peace is something that I believe we all long for. We can have

the peace which transcends all understanding, because we have a God that

knows all things. We do not know what the future holds but we can know who

holds the future in His hands. My favorite phrase in the Bible is, "It came

to pass". Every time I read it I underline it. Everything that we go

through will come to pass one way or another. If we pray about it, we can

have the peace that will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus as well.
