Although the verses are from Matthew 6, the classic lines of the worry, there are at least two other well-known Bible passages who talk about worries. One of them is found in Philippians 4:6-7:
Be anxious for nothing;
but in everything by prayer and supplication let
with thanksgiving
be known your requests to God.
And the peace of God,
of all understanding exceeds
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus!
Empowered verses! Dynamite!
not just eat, drink and clothing, we will delete them from our list of concerns. Everything else. Yes, ALL others. The Lord tells us to worry about NOTHING!
In Matthew 6:33 we had seen what we should do instead: We focus on the kingdom of God and His righteousness. We tell them how we manage the both: the pursuit of God's kingdom and ensure that does not make our life on earth through prayer, supplication and thanksgiving.
Some worry you are just starting to God. It is easy for us because it is "easy" Concerns are. We would see us - they give up though, and they can be in God's hands.
Then there are those who rob us of sleep. (I know them too!) Because sometimes is not enough "normal" prayer. You have to dig deeper then. Plead, cry unto the Lord, his face looking . Sometimes alone, sometimes together. But if we have given so worried then pleading and crying to the Lord, we must also learn relief.
Finally, both of which should be "normal" as well as the supplication of prayer, searching and crying to be accompanied of thanksgiving. Really? Does God so mean? I'm worried and should be grateful? Now - how would you understand the verse else, if not exactly like that?
Not only does it honor God when we thank Him midst of our concerns, it also pays tribute to him, maybe more if we for Him thank our concerns. After all, our concerns and needs are God's opportunities to meet us and help.
And who practice it: his concerns in prayer, supplication and thanksgiving to submit to God will make a supernatural experience. Paul writes:
And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding,
will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus!
