As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way!
– “Down to the River to Pray”
6. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Many times we wait until we are at the end of our rope before asking God for help through prayer. Philippians 4:6 says, “Don’t worry about anything.” I don’t know about you, but that is very hard for me! I usually worry about everything and keep worrying about it until it passes.
As I have gotten older, I have become more thankful for what God has done and is doing for me – and I try to tell him each morning, “Thanks for another day!”
