Philippians 4: 6-7

Note: For the Summer we are reprinting some devotions that ran back when we were getting this site up and running. Hopefully this is new content to you, and we will get back into writing fresh devotions as our schedule allows.



6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.



When I was younger we used to always say "Pray through for the Breakthrough!" God wants us to come to Him with our problems. If there's something that's bothering you, take it to Him. And not just one time, but continually until you get your answer. What you'll find is that after you've prayed enough God will send you His peace, and you won't be able to understand what happened, but you're just not worried like you were 10 minutes ago. The Bible calls that faith, and it calls faith a shield, and a shield is a piece of armor that you use to protect either your heart or your mind. So if you learn to pray through, the enemy won't be able to assault you with worry, because your heart will be protected.

Are there areas in your life that need protection?

About These Devotions

If you're reading this, it means that God has a plan for your life. But in order to figure out what it is, we've got to spend time listening to what He has to say. These devotions are meant to be an appetizer to get you interested in studying the Bible for yourself. They are a collection from the youth leadership of Reality Student Ministries. If you like them, subscribe either through RSS or e-mail in the sidebar, and then leave us a note and tell us what you thought.

Thanks,

-Jeff-
