Philippians 4:6,7: Pray about everything “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.”
This advice on prayer was written by the apostle Paul to early church members to encourage them to pray to God about anything and everything that troubled them. It gives a pattern for a straight forward way of praying where we are encouraged to present our requests to God with thankful hearts. Some once told me that they weren’t praying for a new job, which they desperately needed, because they felt like they shouldn’t bother God with it since there were other people with much bigger needs like serious diseases. This Bible verse tells us God’s ears and heart are always open to hear about anything, big or small, that makes us feel anxious or worried. What may seem like a small matter to someone else may be a big thing to you. God cares and he is listening.
