Prayers

Finding Peace Through Prayer: An Exposition of Philippians 4:6-7

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."

In these verses, the Apostle Paul offers profound spiritual guidance on overcoming anxiety and finding peace through prayer. The command to "not be anxious about anything" is not a mere suggestion but an imperative grounded in the understanding of God's sovereignty and care for His people. It encourages believers to relinquish their worries and concerns to God, trusting in His provision and wisdom.

The phrase "in every situation" encompasses all aspects of life, indicating that no matter the circumstance, prayer is the pathway to peace. Through prayer and petition, believers are invited to bring their needs, desires, and concerns before God, demonstrating dependence on Him for guidance and provision. Furthermore, the instruction to approach God "with thanksgiving" underscores the importance of gratitude in the believer's spiritual life, acknowledging God's goodness and faithfulness even amidst trials.

The promised outcome of this faithful prayer life is the "peace of God, which transcends all understanding." This peace is not dependent on external circumstances but is a divine gift that surpasses human comprehension. It is a deep-seated assurance and tranquility that guards the hearts and minds of believers, protecting them from the turmoil of anxiety and fear. This peace is rooted in a relationship with Christ Jesus, who is the source of true peace and security.

In essence, these verses emphasize the transformative power of prayer in the believer's life. By entrusting their concerns to God with gratitude and faith, they can experience a profound sense of peace that defies human understanding, knowing that their hearts and minds are securely held in Christ Jesus.

Living in the House He Built | Galatians 2:17-18

But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. — Galatians 2:17-18

CALL OUT: Call out today to all the Leaders from Forged, our leadership training event in Florida. What a powerful group of men's leaders.

The point of this text is so simple and yet so profound.

Paul is saying that it is not my work that matters. It's Jesus's work. I tried my hand at building my life. It didn't work. All my work (the best of it and the worst of it) had to be torn down so that Jesus could build something new in me. He's the master carpenter. He always has been. I am not. I am merely the work of his hands. Therefore, my job is not rebuilding my life. It is living in the house he has already built. In addition, it's now living in this house with His Spirit, enjoying the work he has accomplished in me.

Too many believers accept Jesus and return to the same old patterns. A justified man who behaves like an unjustified man is exerting useless energy. They have failed to see the point of justification, and rather than enjoying the justifying work of Jesus, they work to add their justification to Jesus' work because they are failing to let him be Lord and Savior.

This is the point Paul is making about the Judaizers. They are teaching a Gospel of addition to Jesus's work, which is no Gospel at all. It's a man trying to play God.

So don't play God today. Enjoy the justification of Jesus. Live by faith. Keep in step with the Spirit. Let others see the power of a life justified by Jesus Christ.

#JustificationByFaith #ChristCenteredLife #LivingInHisWork #SpiritLedLiving #NoSelfJustification

ASK THIS:

How can we actively surrender our own efforts to rebuild our lives and instead embrace the work of Jesus in our daily walk?

In what areas of our lives are we prone to revert to self-justification rather than trusting in the justification provided by Jesus? How can we shift our focus to living in the freedom of His grace?

DO THIS: Enjoy the house Jesus built.

PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to fully surrender my efforts to rebuild my life and to embrace the work you have already accomplished in me through Jesus Christ. Grant me the strength to walk in faith, keeping in step with your Spirit, and to reflect your justifying grace to those around me. Amen.

PLAY THIS: Build My Life.

Marriage is hard, y'all. Anyone who says otherwise is selling you something. We live in a fallen world, and we are all sinners. Every single one of us. We need to make sure we are not leaving a foot hold for the devil to use to drive a wedge within our marriages. #wellofaith #livingtruth #NoVa2018 #life #marriage #realtalk #growtogether #christcenteredmarriage #christcenteredlife

We ask God for the grace to run to Him in moments of despair, so that He may fill our cup. Then we can choose joyfully to do what we can for others, when we can.

[elcontributions-blog]

Relentless pain, isolation, uncertainty; being at the mercy of others for survival; rejection, slander, no cure, impossibilities mounting, life losing its color, endurance becoming paper thin, dreams lost in a haze, living turning into surviving and surviving turning into a vapor of life... Each are teachers. All accumulating into lessons that few can learn and a path fewer still, will travel. The purpose in it all remains unknown. The longing for Heaven becomes the breath of each moment. Could it be that God is closest, loving the deepest, in such a time? The oneness with the Creator most intimate and tangible when His presence is felt the least? When we feel the least connected to life are we more connected to eternity? #invisibledisability #pain #invisiblediseaseawareness #warrior #rawfaith #ocean #losinghope #sadness #heartbreak #broken #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #picture #shatteredlife #shattered #work #grind #freedom #intimacywithgod #jesus #faith #walkingwiththegodwhocares #quiettime #promises #pray #christcenteredlife #loverofmysoul

I want to so badly, but the God in me won't let me do it. I have such a big heart, that's my problem. #LoveTooHard #Growth #Wisdom #Forgiveness #ChristCenteredLife 🙏

Don’t be afraid of tomorrow, for God has already been there.

[tiarocker]

Growth is being okay, like remaining steadfast, despite being ignored or feeling unheard.

Growth is remaining steadfast in hope, despite the darkness that may visit from time to time.

Growth is remembering I have value, despite moments of accusation or rejection.

Thank God for growth.

Hello! I hope everyone had an awesome thanksgiving day!

Let’s get this started!

My goal is to teach young ladies and those new to faith and a life in Christ about God’s design for us women and how joyful and fulfilling it is. I’ll be debunking stigmas, worldly views and myths the world and the feminist movement wants us to believe and live.

Everything I share will always be based and backed up by biblical scripture.

My hope and prayer is that you’ll be convicted by God’s Holy Spirit and will learn the right way to a fulfilled life in God’s perfect design for us.

If we attend to the things that are most important to God, he will come into the mess of our lives and begin to create beauty and order
