"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God" (Phil. 4:6 KJV).

Don't worry about it. I don't know what you are facing today, but the Bible says in Phillipians 4:6, don't worry about it. One translation says "do not worry, have anxiety or fret about anything." The Holy Spirit is talking to you to roll that care over on God.

What happens when you roll the care over on God? You've decided not to be anxious. You've decided to go before God and pray and supplicate before Him. You've decided to give God thanks because you believe your prayer is answered.

"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through (the Anointed One) Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:7).

The Amplified translation says here that the peace of God shall garrison and mount guard over your heart and mind, because the mind is the battleground. In other words, it said the peace of God will come and protect you so that you don't go "tilt."

Notice what he said in Philippians 4. First of all, He talked about what you should do: You should decide not to worry about it and to go before God in prayer. Then you should be thankful before God Almighty. It said if you do these things then the peace of God guards and protects your heart from worry.

Well, the devil will try to come in any kind of way he can. All kinds of things try to hit you this way. If it comes from the front, you are protected. If it comes from the back, you are protected. If it comes from the left, you are protected. If it comes from the right you are protected. Your mind is cool. Your mind is calm. You have the very peace of God in the middle of the trouble.

There are three things you have to do. First, decide you're not going to worry anymore. Second, pray with supplication. Third, thank the Lord that everything is all right. Say, "Father, I want to thank you in advance that my bills are paid. Thank you I am healed in body. Thank you my every need is met. I give you praise and glory."

The peace of God will protect your heart and mind. Then when an attack comes against you, it won't be able to get through.
