In Phillipians 4:6-7 Paul tells us that if we pray with an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving, we shall not be anxious and that God has promised to give us peace and to keep our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and suplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
This is a promise of peace and protection. As we read in Psalm 31, we learn a little more about how God protects us:
"Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which though hast wrought for them that trust in thee before men! Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: though shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues."
In a world where there is much prideful activity and strife of tongues, the Lord in his goodness has promised to keep us in his presence in a secret place. This is a wonderful promise. The only condition is that you fear and trust him. As you see these scriptures, you can rest assured that you as a believer are protected by God in the world if you trust and fear him. These are great and powerful and lifechanging promises that God has given us. I am grateful for his protection, and I hope that you too, will claim these promises and come into this wonderful and great awareness!
God bless you and have a great day!
