Presenting Your Request With Thanksgiving

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6 NIV) Present your request to God with THANKSGIVING. Yes, thank God for your problems as soon as they come. This simple act of thanking can calm your mind down from its anxious thoughts. When a problem comes up in your life, you usually have questions running through your head: What am I gonna do? How am I going to get through this?... But before you get too deep into your nervous wondering, just stop. Thank God for the growth opportunity, and chill out - God is in control. Present your request to him, do what you need to do, and let him do his work!! That's all you can do!! Thank you Jesus for the problems I have in my life that bring me closer to you!!
