"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Amen, amen." [00:01:05] (34 seconds)
"Worry is not to be entertained. Worry is to be evicted out of your life. This Greek word for worry comes from the idea that means to care or be concerned. And there's nothing wrong with caring or being concerned. It's being over-concerned that's the problem." [00:06:31] (21 seconds)
"He wants you to understand this. There is nothing too great for God's power, and there is nothing too small for his fatherly care. Did you catch that, friends? There's nothing too big for you to pray about, and there is nothing too small for you to pray about. God wants you to talk to him about everything." [00:10:33] (23 seconds)
"Somebody said, well, why three pills? Why three times a day? Because the text uses three different words for prayer. I want you to notice this, friends. He says prayer on the first section. Then he says petition. Then he says repetition. Each of these are three different Greek words, but they're all synonyms for prayer." [00:13:20] (22 seconds)
"Thanksgiving is helpful because in a society like ours, it's easier to focus on what we are consuming and what we need. But what Thanksgiving does is remind us of what we already have. You see, that's why in 1 Thessalonians 5 and 18, he says, give thanks in all circumstances. For this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." [00:16:03] (24 seconds)
"you're not careful we'll be so busy trying to focus on the next thing we need from God that we miss what God is doing in our right now right now he's already blessing you right now he's already shown you what he can do right now he's already proven that he's able he says you and I have to learn how to thank God radically regularly" [00:18:29] (28 seconds)
"That's verse 7 says, and the peace of God. I want you to notice this, friends, that when you read verse 6 and 7, I want you to notice that he gives an expectation. And then he gives a promise in verse 7. I want you to notice, though, what verse 7 promises. It doesn't promise to give you a job tomorrow, but he's going to give you peace while you continue to interview and put your resume where it needs to be." [00:20:27] (29 seconds)
"Because the God of our scriptures, he is not only the originator of peace, he's the source of peace and he's the sustainer of peace. That's why you can't find peace in your life till you have a relationship with God. You will spend your life chasing this thing after the next thing." [00:23:50] (23 seconds)
