Always be rejoicing in the Lord. Rejoicing is something we have to choose. Let your gentleness be evident to all-reasonableness, forbearance, graciousness Make sure everyone else around you can see your gentleness on display What kind of person do others know me to be? The Lord is near to all who call on Him. The Lord is coming back soon Do not be anxious (worry) about anything We don't have to be anxious (worry) because the Lord is near. He's got you. No need to worry. Keep your eyes on the one who is there for you. It's a matter of perspective. Worshipful prayer or devoted prayer- prayer that worships God, adores Him, honors Him, glorifies Him. Petition-ask Him for the things you need. Draw near to God in a posture of humility of dependence. The peace of God-meaning it is a peace that comes from heaven, indwells us regardless of the situation.
