Today’s Promise to Memorize* 

“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.” (Phil. 4:6-7)

The command, the instructions, and the promise

1)   The command: Don’t be anxious about anything. 

2)   The instructions: 

  • Pray to God about it. 

  • Thank God for it. 

  • Present your request to God about it.

3)   The promise: You will receive the peace of God, which transcends all understanding and He will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Additional References

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?” (Matt. 6.25 ESV)

“Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7 ESV)

A Reminder

*Over the next few days I am posting Bible promises every believer MUST know (and commit to memory) to be fully equipped no matter what they are faced with. Meditate on them and memorize them. 

Proven ways to help memorize:

1.     Hand write it on 3x5 card.

2.     Always include the Bible reference at the beginning and repeat it again at the end. 

3.     Read it through several times and think about what it means (mediate on it). 

4.     Say it out loud a few times.  

5.     Refer to it throughout the day and say it to yourself (a few words at a time if necessary) until you can say it correctly without looking.
