Be careful for nothing; but in everything by payer 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. (Philippians 4:6-7)

No care but all prayer. No anxiety but much joyful communion with God.
Carry your desires to the Lord of your life, the guardian of your soul.
Go to Him with two portions of prayer and one of fragrant praise. Do not
pray doubtfully but thankfully. Consider that you have your petitions,
and therefore thank God for His grace. He is giving you grace; give Him
thanks, Hide nothing. Allow no want to lie rankling in your bosom; "make
known your requests." Run not to man. Go only to your God, the Father of
Jesus, who loves you in Him.

This shall bring you God's own peace. You shall not be able to
understand the peace which you shall enjoy. It will enfold you in its
infinite embrace. Heart and mind through Christ Jesus shall be steeped
in a sea of rest. Come life or death, poverty, pain, slander, you shall
dwell in Jesus above every rolling wind or darkening cloud. Will you not
obey this dear command?

Yes, Lord, I do believe thee; but, I beseech thee, help mine unbelief.
