As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. Psalm 84:6-7 他 們 經 過 流 淚 谷 , 叫 這 谷 變 為 泉 源 之 地 ; 並 有 秋 雨 之 福 蓋 滿 了 全 谷 。 他 們 行 走 , 力 上 加 力 , 各 人 到 錫 安 朝 見   神 。

How not to be anxious and getting what I want

Philippians 4:6-7

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Let's break it down:
Getting what I want (please see James 4:3)
1. Prayer (my part)
2. Petition (brothers and sisters in Christ, prayer partners, spouse...)
3. Thanksgiving (everyone)

And we will not be anxious because the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds (verse 7)

There are more attacks today. I had loose bowels this morning and co-worker challenged me on work task processes. Our God is much bigger. Praise His Name!!

Here's the Chinese version:
6 應 當 一 無 罣 慮 , 只 要 凡 事 藉 著 禱 告 、 祈 求 , 和 感 謝 , 將 你 們 所 要 的 告 訴 神 。

7 神 所 賜 、 出 人 意 外 的 平 安 必 在 基 督 耶 穌 裡 保 守 你 們 的 心 懷 意 念 。
