Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV)

Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV) 4 - Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 - Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayerand petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 - And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, willguard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 - Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whateveris right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever isadmirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think aboutsuch things. 9 - Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seenin me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. For the Christian Prayer is not an option but an opportunity."In prayer; expect setbacks, but refuse retreat". R. Eastman. Put God first, be happy at last!
