The apostle Paul encountered many situations that would bring the average person great anxiety. He learned to pray with the saints of old about these situations, and he shared this type of prayer with the saints in Philippi. We can pray with the saints through our anxiety by nurturing an ongoing relationship with God, saturating our prayer with thanksgiving, meditating on the beauty and greatness of God, asking God to get involved with complete honesty, and taking refuge in Him. Prayer does not magically make all of our problems go away, but we do find the peace that passes understanding as we dwell under His refuge. (Philippians 4.4-7) March 16, 2025
