The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Philippians 4:4-7, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication

with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard

your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

It’s not always easy to do what is best. There are times when we find

it hard to rejoice. Still, the Bible encourages us to “rejoice in the Lord

always.” We are never to be anxious about anything. Just pray earnestly

to the LORD for what we need. This is absolute trust in Him that He will

provide us with what we need. And don’t forget to say “Thank You.”

What will that trust bring us? It will bring us the peace of God, the very

opposite of anxiety. Further, our prayerful requests will result in answers

well beyond what we have ever thought –even beyond our understanding

of how such blessings could ever be! He will guard our hearts and minds

against the anxiety that would rob us of His peace. Do you believe that?

It is always beneficial to us to believe the LORD and to trust His Word.

Just don’t worry! That’s your part; everything else lies under His control.

We don’t know everything that concerns you day-by-day, but we are

praying for you anyway. We love you immeasurably!
