Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT)...

FROM TODAY'S READING (11/14/2016)...

The following is attributed to a folded note found in the pocket of a dead Civil War soldier:

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve; 
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity, then I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy;
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men;
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life;
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing I asked for, but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among men, most richly blessed.

Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) 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.
