When
something in your life or thoughts makes you anxious, come to Me and talk
about it. Bring Me your prayer and petition with
thanksgiving, saying: “Thank You, Jesus, for this opportunity to trust You
more.” Though the lessons of trust that I send to you come wrapped in
difficulties, the benefits far outweigh the cost.
Well-developed trust will bring you many blessings, not the least of which is My Peace. I have promised to keep you in perfect Peace to the extent that you trust in Me. The world has it backwards, teaching that peace is the result of having enough money, possessions, insurance, and security systems.
My Peace, however, is such an all-encompassing gift that it is independent of all circumstances. Though you lose everything else, if you gain My Peace you are rich indeed.
Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. Philippians 4:6

will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is
steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and
character],
Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope
and confident expectation].” Isaiah
26:3
