DOING PHILIPPIANS 4:6 And 7
by
Kent Cooley

(Adapted from 1 Corinthians 13:5; Philippians 4:6)

Life was happening to me one day and I found myself under much duress. “What am I going to do?” I asked myself. Instantly, I remembered Philippians 4, verse 6 and 7. As I was alone in our living room, I answered myself out loud, 
“I am going to do Philippians 4 and verse 6 and 7 right now!” I opened up my Bible to the scripture and read it out loud, confessed it with my mouth and believed it in my heart. 
I did what my instruction manual told me to do.

Philippians 4:6 and 7 not only instructs us but commands us,

“Do not be anxious about anything.”

It just told us what not to do, now it is telling us what to do.

“But in everything by prayer and petition

make your definite requests known unto God with thanksgiving.”

What is the result of this process?

“and the peace that passes all understanding

will keep your heart and your minds through Christ Jesus.”

So I confessed, “Father, I am not anxious about anything.” I make my request known to You. I began to thank my Father for every blessing that came to my mind. The thanksgiving caused me to become thankful and I could literally begin to feel the anxiety lift off of me. I cast my cares on the One who cares for me. I vividly remember the peace of God coming over me just like the Word said it would. The care of my anxiety was gone and I was confident that God would take care of the circumstance.

So when life happens to you, just do Philippians 4 verse 6 and 7 just like I did. It will work every time it is tried. 

Father, I am not anxious about anything. I make my request known unto you with thanksgiving. Thank you for the peace that passes all understanding now keeping my heart and my mind through your son, Christ Jesus.

NO WORRIES

(Adapted from 1 Corinthians 13:5; Philippians 4:6)

Verse:

I was heavy-laden with a load of care,

Then I remembered Philippians 4 and 6

I left my cares there, I left my cares there

Chorus:

No Worries, God is in control

No Worries, I’ll make my request known

And the peace that passes all understanding

Will keep our hearts and our minds through Christ Jesus

And the peace that passes all understanding

Will keep our hearts and our minds through Christ Jesus

Bridge:

I chose to be thankful and not to complain

I believe in God

I trust in his name, I trust in his name, I trust in his name,

It’s the name above all names
