Philippians 4:6 - Instead of Worrying; Pray and Find Peace.

Philippians 4:6 (NLT) Dont worry about 
anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God 
what you need, and thank him for all he has 
done. 

Philippians 4:6 (MSG) Don't fret or worry. 
Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises 
shape your worries into prayers, letting God know 
your concerns. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

Confrontation and Resolution.
   C'mon, Sunrise." My golden retriever dove 
into the powdery snow. I knew that a walk with 
Sunrise into the outdoors winter wonderland would 
help calm my nerves. I was facing a situation at 
work where I needed to have a confrontation in 
order to achieve a resolution. 
   Instead of relaxing, I fretted as Sunrise 
bounded across the field. Suddenly, she dropped and 
chewed on her feet, trying to dislodge the snow 
that had wadded between her pads. Then she was up 
and running. So were my thoughts. I scripted 
what I would say... and then what I thought 
they'd say. 
   Sunrise plopped into a drift. She 
whimpered as she gritted her teeth and pulled at the 
snowballs. By the time I had waded up to her, she raced 
off, and so had my inner dialogue. 
   The snow poofed as Sunrise fell to the 
ground. With her teeth she yanked, then yipped in 
pain. I checked her hind foot. The warmth of her 
pads had melted the snow into icicles with jagged 
edges that stabbed her every step. "Oh, Sunrise, 
the farther you ran, the worse this got." In my 
heart I heard, Just like you. The more I'd 
fretted, the sharper the edges of my thoughts had 
become. They'd grown from uncomfortable to painful 
in a matter of minutes. 
   After I'd dug out the ice, we headed 
back. Sunrise stopped several times to clean out 
her feet, and I cleaned out my heart by chatting 
with God. His answer was simple. In my 
confrontation, I was to just state the facts, no emotions, 
and ask how we could move forward. Of course, 
how simple. And it worked. 
   Lord, Your answers are always the 
solution. Remind me to ask You first, instead of 
fretting. Amen. Rebecca Ondov [Walking in Grace 2021
