We come to Him with our burdens, our requests. We come with our fear or anxiety or worry or challenge. We give it over to Him and He exchanges it for His peace and hope.

In Philippians 4, the Bible gives us a great promise about this exchange. It says: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.” 

I pray because I love to connect with God and experience that divine exchange. No fancy language or formulas are needed. Just open your heart to Him.


“No fancy language or formulas are needed. Just open your heart to Him.”

Philippians 4:6-7

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
