"Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious -- the best not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse." Phil. 4:6-8.
What we fill our minds with is very important. The world around us wants to fill our minds with uncertainty and fear. We cannot allow that to happen. Each of us our responsible for what goes into our minds. I want to encourage each of you to focus on what God has spoken to us. As we fill our hearts and minds with His Words we can be sure that God will give us His Peace.
In a world where there is chaos and confusion we can walk in His Peace and manifest His Presence to others around us.
