PHILIPPIANS 4:6-9   THE MESSAGE BIBLE 

Don't fret or worry.  Instead of worrying, pray!  Let your petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers.  Let God know your concerns.  And before you know it, His wholeness and all other things will come together for your good. 

You'll do best by meditating on and filling your mind with things that are true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious ... with things that are the best, not the worst, beautiful, not ugly ... things to give praise for, not to curse. 

Put into practice the things that you've learned from the Word, things that you've heard, seen, and realized. 

Do these things and God, Who makes all things work together for our good, will work you into His most excellent harmonies.  HALLELUJAH!  THANK YOU, LORD!
