Grace and peace, my sisters and brothers in Christ,

According to statistics, anxiety is an epidemic in our culture. So, if anxiety is something that you or someone you love deals with, you have a weapon against it. It is prayer.

Did you know that prayer is meant to lead you to peace? This is why Paul wrote these wonderful lines in his letter to the churches in Philippi: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

I love these wonderful lines of scripture and hope that you do as well. So this weekend in worship, let's talk about how prayer leads to peace as we continue learning how to "Walk this Way."

Blessings,
