I love how the passion translation puts these verses here in Philippians 4. Paul writes here that we should not be distracted by all the vices that the enemy throws at you. He puts it so simple. He states that you should not worry about a thing. Be careful for nothing and the dictionary defines nothing as nothing. So, worry about nothing.
Then he says that in everything by prayer and supplication (the action of asking or begging for something earnestly or humbly) with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. In other words bring it all before God. Once you have given it over in faith and trust, the Holy Spirit will cover you in incomprehensible and amazing peace.
As Jesus said “my peace I give to you”. This amazing peace and love of God will protect your heart and your mind against the lies and deceit of the enemy. Against doubt and unbelief and against fear and sorrow. So, my dear friend, I say it again - prayer is vital to our day to day life in Jesus Christ.
Have an awesome day.
