**Philippians 4:4-7**

The first step in practicing peace is a little counter intuitive... Rejoice!

Be glad, celebrate, take pleasure in the Lord! Not in the things of this world... though the Bible does say he gives us good things to richly enjoy, we need to remember that it is in the Lord that we need to celebrate!

Be Glad!

Anxiety: Experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.

1 - "Every Situation"

When you talk to Jesus about the small things, it becomes more natural to talk to him about the big things.

2 - "By prayer and petition"

Prayer: simple requests of the Lord

Petition: An earnest or urgent request (to God)

3 - "With Thanksgiving"

Peace beyond what we can understand! His peace will guard our hearts AND our minds.
