SO WHAT?

12/5/2025

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” (Philippians 4:6).

Even when life doesn’t make sense—when situations contradict your expectations and you have no earthly explanation—you can still trust God. His faithfulness is not defined by the circumstances you face. Malachi 3:6 declares, “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” He is the unchanging constant in our lives.

The fact that you feel alone does not mean you are alone.The fact that you haven’t yet seen results in the physical realm doesn’t mean your prayers were ignored. Your assurance is not in your feelings but in the Word.

1 John 5:14–15 says:

“This is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.”Notice: Scripture does not say we are assured God heard us when the situation changes. Our confidence is based solely on His Word.

Isaiah 43:2 speaks of life’s inevitable challenges:

“When you pass through the waters… when you walk through the fire…”

Notif, butwhen. Challenges will come, but so will God’s presence. His promise is unwavering:“I will be with you… the rivers will not overwhelm you… the fire will not burn you.”

And Jesus assures us in Matthew 28:20:

“…I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”Child of God, He has never left you—and He never will.

Therefore, refuse discouragement. Look away from the circumstances and focus instead on God’s promises. When you pray, pray with thanksgiving—because thanksgiving is the language of faith.

Philippians 4:6 teaches us that thanksgiving is not what we do after the answer comes—it is what we do because we believe the answer is already given. When you pray with thanksgiving, know with certainty that things have shifted in your favor, even if the evidence has not yet appeared.

See your situation through the Word. See the miracle ahead of time. Know that the Word cannot fail—and it will not fail with you.

God bless you richly!

Faith-Filled Confession:

I refuse to be anxious about anything.

Instead, I pray about everything with thanksgiving,

knowing that my God hears me, loves me, and answers every prayer.

I trust His unfailing Word, and I rest in His unchanging faithfulness.

Hallelujah!
