Week 12 - Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

We continue our focus on prayer this week, which is our direct communication with our heavenly Father.

Postures for Prayer:

Standing - Abraham (Genesis 18:22,23); Hannah (1 Samuel 1:26); "When you stand..." (Mark 11:25)
Bowing - Moses (Exodus 34:8)
Kneeling - Solomon (1 Kings 8:54,55); Daniel (Daniel 6:10); Jesus (Luke 22:41)
Prostrate - Joshua (Joshua 7:6); Jesus (Matthew 26:39)
Lying down - Hezekiah on his bed (2 Kings 20:1,2)

So whether you're standing, bowing, kneeling, prostrate or lying down this week........do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And may the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Amen!
