There is not much a commentator can add to these words from the 3rd chapter of Philippians appointed for today. So let me get out of the way and simply encourage you to read, learn, mark and inwardly digest these words from the imprisoned apostle. They are a great reminder of me today to rejoice always and to pray not only for God’s help but with thanksgiving:

4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
