“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Have you ever faced a situation where your worries and anxieties seem to take over? Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us that biblical prayer is God’s antidote to anxiety. Next time your anxiety strikes, use the ACTS acronym to experience God’s peace.

A: Adoration

C: Confession

T: Thanksgiving

S: Supplication

God is your faithful guide, ready and willing to help you through anything. He assures you that when you present your request with gratitude, He will guard your heart and mind with His son, Jesus.

Take some time today to surrender your anxiety to God. Let Him know how you’re feeling, and remember to thank Him for His presence in your life, even when life is tough. He promises to give you peace in all circumstances!

Dear Jesus, most days, I don’t feel peaceful. I face continual anxiety and don’t even know what it’s like not to have it. Can You please break through and bless me with more of You? I long to know Your love so powerfully that all my worries and insecurities melt away. Thank You, Jesus, for what You are doing in my life. Help me trust You more.
