Carefree Life

Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God: and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

It's possible, and even biblical, to live a carefree life...a life devoid of worry and anxiety, a life of absolute peace and joy in every situation we face. It is possible, but only by faith. We have to believe these verses, and put them into practice, and that's where faith comes in.

The Amplified Bible translates that verse this way: "Do not fret or have anxiety about anything….”

God wouldn't tell us not to worry or fret unless it was possible. First, He tells us it's possible, and then He gives us the things necessary to live this carefree life. They are right there in the verse—prayer, supplication, thanksgiving, and requests.

Prayer & supplication - The first thing we have to do is pray about everything. 

Thanksgiving – Give God thanks and praise.

Requests - When we're facing something that is causing us to worry, it's important that we bring those specific requests to God.

We can trust God, live the carefree life and watch the peace of God guard our hearts and minds!
