Don't Worry, but Pray About Everything

Don't let yourself be controlled by worry!

I chose not to put this under Laws of God, but it is a definite law that God commands of His Children. It might not be easy, but God wants you to get to the point that you cast every care upon Him.

Philippians 4: 6

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

careful (merimnao - pronounced mer-im-nah-o)

be anxious about

supplication (deesis - pronounced deh-ay-sis)

a petition or request

thanksgiving (eucharistia - pronounced yoo-khar-is-tee-ah)

gratitude; actually grateful language to God as an act of worship; thankfulness

requests (aitema - pronounced ahee-tay-mah)

a thing asked or an asking; petition, required


The Bible is very specific in this verse. We are to pray about everything that comes into our life and petition God for things we need; then do all this with a heart of thanksgiving because of the awesome God we have who cares so much about our every problem and care.

God loves you so much He wants to meet your every need, but He can't do it if you are so worried about the situation you can't let go of it.
