Philipians 4:6-9

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me- put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Philipians 4:6-9

When I was in church, this whole verse basically just jumped into pieces in my mind.
Break it down..

Do no be anxious about anything
anything
(we need not be worried)
BUT
in every situation
(anything and everything we go through)
by prayer and petition
(vocalize, either in your mind or out loud)
with thanksgiving
(being thankful, no matter what)
present your requests to God.
(bring them to Him, show Him what you need.. Him and only Him. He is able to take care of any and ALL of our worries)

And the peace of God
(it only comes from Him)
which transcends all understanding
(this is not a peace WE can understand.. as humans, without Him, we will never feel this peace)
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
(literally.. in Christ Jesus.. our hearts and minds will be at peace. He will take care of all the worries we bring to Him)

Finally
(yes.. the end is near)
brothers and sisters
(every person who believes in Christ Jesus, we are part of one family)
think about these things
(this is what should be on our minds and nothing else
... whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable)

Whatever you have learned/recieved/heard from Him
(everything we get from the Bible and the body of believers and our prayers)
put into practice.
(lead your lives in this way)

And the God of peace will be with you.
(God is with you. learn to lean on Him. don't worry.)
