Pastor Ariana preached from Philippians 4:4-9 and put forward that our biggest problem as a church and culture isn’t our anxiety but actually our forgetfulness.
We tend to forget these three things:
- Jesus is near
- His kingdom is coming
- His peace is real for us today
The Good News is that God hasn’t forgotten us. When we pray and even before we pray God is attentive to the needs of His people. Try the Prayer Model that was introduced and reply here to let us know how God is responding to our community.
Prayer Model
- Remember: What has God done? Let that reflection lead you to rejoice.
- Ask: What do you need from the Lord today?
- Thank: How can you thank God today?
- Receive: Pause to sit still with your palms up and allow God to place peace in your hands or to meet you.
- Practice: What is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and worthy of praise around you? Take a moment to think of something for each word.
