In Philippians 4:6-7 Paul gives some direct instruction that both amazes and irritates, "Do not be anxious about anything." He goes on to explain the way we obey that command is by "praying about everything." This is the only path to experiencing the peace of God (vs. 7) in the midst of anxious circumstances. God's peace is what we need most because it alone is able to "guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
