Meditation Verse      
 
Scripture.  Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  Phillipians 4:6-7  KJV
.
The Holy Spirit is giving us sound principles to live by in this scripture written by the Apostle Paul.
 
We are told to approach God with thanksgiving in our hearts for all He has done, and will do for us. 
 
We are to ask Him to meet all our needs.
 
Through looking to God as our source of all things, we give Him His rightful place in our life. 
 
And He honors our sacrifice of our own free will. 
 
It is counted to us as Righteousness because it tells Him our faith is strong when we let go of our own desires and let Him guide us in the relationship He created us for. He is able to work unhindered with us, by any negativity or disbelief in Him and His Abilities.
 
This can be a long drawn out process as we try to hang onto areas we want to have control over or it can be short and sweet as we daily live, to thank Him and surrender to His plan  for us.
 
The peace of God that passes all human understanding, will fall and flow through us and will help us to keep Jesus as the King of our life.
 
Lastly, God wants us to run everything by Him. 
 
Nothing should be left out. 
 
Things not surrendered to Him can fester and grow like a bad infection and become harder to overcome.
 
Prayer
Lord, thank You for this scripture full of a Loving Father's advice.  Help me to surrender all to You and obey You so that I can have the peace that passes all human understanding.  Amen.
