Daily Devotional - Reflection: Lest We Forget - WK19 - 5/5/25 - Day 125 - "Peace Through Prayer"

Author: Evangelist Crystal Poston

"Peace Through Prayer"
Scripture: Philippians 4:6-7 KJV

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Devotion:
In this Scripture, Paul tells the people that it is important to bring every concern that they have to God in prayer.  He urges them to be open and honest with God, sharing with Him their needs and desires.  He wants them to have an open relationship with God.  Paul’s words here are for us as well. Our Heavenly Father desires that we bring all of our cares to Him because He loves and cares for us.  God wants to give us the gift of peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding. With the peace of God, we are given the strength to cope with the hardships that we may struggle with day by day. When we bring our cares to God, we are to go to Him with a thankful heart, showing Him that we are grateful for who He is, for all that He has already done, and for what He is about to do for us.  He is our Good, Good Father!!!

Prayer:
Father thank You for the ability to bring our burdens, worries and desires to You in prayer.  We thank You for being our loving Father.  Help us to seek You first with our cares, knowing that You will bring us peace, a peace that this world can’t give nor take away from us. In Jesus’ name we Pray. Amen
