Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart. And God's peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus.
In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable. Put into practice what you learned and received from me, both from my words from my actions. And the God who gives us peace wil be with you. - (Good News Bible)
When I read this today, it truly spoke to me. I have been sick all week and my mother inlaw will be coming to my Thanksgiving this year so I've been very anxiety ridden and stressed out. These verses were just what I needed to hear tonight. It was like God speaking directly to me, calming me, and letting me know that it's all going to be okay no matter how it turns out and no matter what happens. So I am feeling a lot better. By Thanksgiving, my sickness should hopefully be gone and I should be enjoying the second annual Thanksgiving dinner I am holding here. I refuse to allow anything to make me not enjoy it. :)
