UNDERSTANDING:Philippians 4:6,7(NKJV) says Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God: and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6,7(MSG) says Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Understanding that God can remove worrying from your mind is a wonderful feeling. I've experienced it many times in my life. Pray and believe that God answers prayers.

YES: James 5:12 (MSG) says And since you know that he cares, let your language show it. Don't add words like "I swear to God" to your own words. Don't show your impatience by concocting oaths to hurry up God. Just say yes or no. Just say what is true. That way, your language can't be used against you.

In conversation, be specific. If it's yes, say yes. If it's no, say no. When praying, be specific. Be truthful and if you're confused, say,Yes, God I'm confused. If you're hurting, say, Yes, God I'm hurting. If you're happy, say, Yes, God I'm happy. As the verse says, God cares.

ZEALOUS: Galatians 4:18 (NIV) says It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.

We should be excited about God and his blessings not just in church, but each and everyday wherever we experience it. When others are excited about God, we should be, too.
