From the Pastor’s Desk

August 9th, 2025

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving make your

requests known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts

and minds in Christ Jesus.”

This is such a cool verse. It really has a double meaning when you stop to examine it. First, Paul tells the

church at Philippi to bring everything to God in prayer. Of course, our hope is that God will answer these

prayers. But there is another facet to this passage. If we bring everything to God in prayer, He will grant

us His peace whether we receive the answer to prayer that we are seeking or not.

As we abide in prayer over these areas that are causing us concern, we are also abiding in His peace.

And this my friends is an incredible gift from God.

Abiding in His peaceful presence,

Pastor Chris Yount
