 Promises of the Prince of Peace

(Philippians 4:6-9)

Three Steps in Replacing Anxiety with Peace:

 1. Pray thankfully.

prayer = worship

petition = humility

thanksgiving = faith

2. Think positively.

 What changes do I need to make in my thinking habits?

3. Live responsibly.

 Notice the word “received” – take up as a lifestyle.

 Notice the promise – “And the God of peace will be with you.”
