In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to…In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." Notice where the thanks goes. Not after the answer arrives, but inside the asking, while your hands are still empty. Paul wrote this from a prison cell. What are you waiting on that you could start thanking Him for now?

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering." The same spot. Your worship…In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering." The same spot. Your worship and your guilt go to the same altar. God never built a side door for the ashamed, a quiet back room where you handle your sin privately before you're fit to come near. You come as you are, to the one place where blood is shed.
Lord, when so much has been lost, remind me that you keep what remains. Give me a place to rest…Lord, when so much has been lost, remind me that you keep what remains. Give me a place to rest tonight, a quiet corner where I can lie down without fear. You have not forgotten us. Come and bring us back.
Thank You that the One who justifies me is near, not distant, not delayed. When accusations rise in my own…Thank You that the One who justifies me is near, not distant, not delayed. When accusations rise in my own head and from others, You stand with me. I don't have to argue my case alone, because You have already declared me righteous in Christ.
Notice the small word that opens it: "For." Everything before is command, shout, serve, enter his gates with thanksgiving. Now…Notice the small word that opens it: "For." Everything before is command, shout, serve, enter his gates with thanksgiving. Now the reason. Not your mood, not your week. "Yahweh is good."
And "his faithfulness to all generations" means he kept faith with someone before you were born, and will keep it after you're gone.
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed." Those are fishing words.…But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed." Those are fishing words. Bait, hook, a quiet pull away from safe water. Notice what James will not let you say: not the devil, not your circumstances, not the person who hurt you. Your own desire took the hook. That stings. It is also hope, because what belongs to you can be handed to God.
