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
Do not be anxious about anything
From every direction and from every side
Thoughts of worry bombard our minds
We feel powerless to stop any of it
No breather is given for us to unwind
Some call it anxiousness or fear
Some call it apprehension, doubt or woe
Some call it worry, or a type of uneasiness
The challenge is finding a way to let it go
but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving
Not sometimes, but all the time
In every situation start with praying
You may have to train yourself
The discipline is worth the paying
Prayer is the cry of the heart
It gives voice to your feelings
Unguarded, unfiltered, transparent
Forms a path for healing
Petition is presenting to God a list
Detailing the crisis of your need
The solution is totally up to God
You’re just providing Him with the seed
Thanksgiving points us in a new direction
It breaks the grip of worry’s chains
Our voice finds a rhythm of hope
Our sovereign Lord Jesus reigns
Present your request to God
We are not muttering words to ourselves
Our prayers go beyond our walls
Our God is ever listening
Engaging in our every call
We understand that God is above all
Boldly, we approach the throne of Grace
As children, we come to present our request
O God, the love of talking face to face
