Philippians 4:4-8
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Lord of Love,
Thank You for Your truth, righteousness and purity. You are beautiful beyond description. Gazing on Your majesty, I rejoice at Your radiance and splendor. As I present my requests to You today with a thankful heart please replace my anxiety with perfect peace. Guard my heart and mind with lovely thoughts of You and who I am in You: You are the only Truth. You are a noble King who has chosen and adopted me to live in Your glorious kingdom eternally! You are blameless and have given me extravagant gifts including an elegant robe of righteousness to cover my sin and shame. You are pure and have given me free, unlimited access to Your beauty bar where my life is made lovely and admirable in the light of Your glory and grace.
Please dear Lord, draw my face up to Yours today. Let me gaze upon Your loveliness and be filled with Your perfect peace. Amen.
List as many beautiful characteristics of God as you can think of. Carry the list with you this week, praising Him all the day long as you mediate on it. Your anxiety will turn to peace as you fix your eyes on the majesty of the Most High King, Jesus.
