Don't Worry...Be Peaceful!

We all worry at times about a variety of issues in our lives. Worrying doesn't just impact our minds, but can affect our physical condition and even can ultimately affect us permanently. In this scripture, Paul gives us a formula for dealing with worry or anxiety: right praying + right thinking + right living = peace. We can have peace regardless of the circumstances in our lives if we turn our cares into prayers (with thanksgiving), feed our minds with God's Word, and seek to be doers of God's Word. When we follow this formula, God promises His peace which transcends all understanding and which is ours no matter what our circumstances might be.
