When I first began practicing this verse, it was easy to believe that I could make my requests known unto God, but it was hard to believe that I could not fret. However, since God says that we don't have to fret, I would say, "I refuse to fret or have any anxiety about anything."

I tell the Lord that I bring my requests unto Him and then I thank Him for the answer. This quiets my spirit and pacifies the troubled attitude the devil tries to make me have.

Then I get up and go about my business, but before you know it, the devil is trying to get me again. I simply go right back and read this verse and keep claiming it.

The minister began to practice this. He told me later the problem was worked out and did not get as big as he had expected. He was being sued over a certain matter, but it did not amount to anything. God helped him out of it all.

You can become so fretful over something that you can't eat or sleep. Your stomach feels as though it has butterflies in it. But all you have to do is practice the Word and you will get results. Philippians 4:7 is a result of practicing Philippians 4:6.

PHILIPPIANS 4:7

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Many people want what the seventh verse talks about, but they don't want to practice what the sixth verse says to do to get it. The Amplified translation of the seventh verse says, "And God's peace ... which transcends all understanding, shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." God's peace will keep guard over your heart and your mind. But can you reap the results and have the peace without being a "doer of the Word"? No, you really cannot.

The sixth verse tells us not to fret. People who worry and fret continually think on the wrong side of life. Verse 8 tells us what we are to think about:

PHILIPPIANS 4:8

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

DO verse 8. Practice this verse. Think about the right things. Many people think about the wrong things. And you know what they are thinking about because of what they talk about. The Bible says, "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. " They continually worry, fret, and think on the wrong side of life, and they continually talk unbelief. You cannot be a "doer of the Word" and continue to talk unbelief. The more you talk about some things, the bigger they get. If something does not meet all these qualifications—true, honest, just, pure, lovely, etc.—don't think about it and don't talk about it.

The Amplified translation of First Corinthians 13:7 reads, "Love .
