Reflection

Paul doesn't just say stop worrying. He gives you something to do instead: take each worry, turn it into a request, add thanks, and hand it to God. The thoughts you can't stop thinking can become the prayers you start praying.

A prayer

God, here's what I keep replaying. I'm turning it into a prayer and leaving it with You.
