Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!
Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing.
Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.
Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing.
Then the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:4-9
My heart is full of thanksgiving as this year comes to a close. God blessed us to survive and thrive during a full year. The Lord was faithful to be with us. He surrounded us with His presence that kept your hearts and minds even during the unthinkable. He kept me. That thought alone leaves me so humbled and grateful. He kept me from falling down and falling a part. He kept me. His presence enveloped me and kept me standing. I am thanking Him for what He has already done. He has kept me and I am thankful.
