A Revelation of God's Word -September 26th

Hello & Praise the Lord:
Have you ever read a scripture before, like a thousand times, and one day you read it, and it seems as though a light switch came on? Well that happened today.
I was reading Philipians 4:6 "Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. Sounds simple enough. This is what I love about God's Word - it gives you the instruction on how to do His Word plain and simple. But for some strange reason we sometimes just can't get it right. Now the scripture says not to be careful/anxious/worry for nothing. Let's stop here. Here is where I think we miss it. We have the praying and thanksgiving part down pack, but it's the first part of the scripture that I think we have a problem with. We know we have a need - it stares us in the face day in and day out. It's like it taunts us a times or all of the time. We're constantly thinking/worrying about it or anxious of how and when God is going or if God can do it for us.
Here's the thing - before we take our need to God, we must seek God's Word and get that Word in heart ( know it in your knower) that God can and will do it for you. Once you have done this, you can easily dismiss (by speaking God's Word) any worry or anxiety that may arise. You will then be able to pray, believe and receive those things that you have requested of the Lord. When you cook, you turn the oven on and put your food in it. You don't worry if the oven will cook your food or how it's going to cook it. You trust that when the oven is on, and the food is in it that it will cook your food. You don't keep going back to see if the oven is cooking your food. This is an inanimate object. The God that we serve is an knowing and all powerful being. You know that He can and will do the impossible in your life. You wake up every morning and you are breathing if you are reading this. Roll all of your cares on the Lord for He cares for you. When you go into the prayer confident that God can and will perform His Word that you are praying concerning your situation, that's your faith in operation - it's our faith that moves God. And if you haven't gotten to the place where you can believe God's Word concerning your situation, then being to meditate on that Word everyday. Get it down in your spirit; continue to speak it over your life. Don't give up on the Word of God. God and His Word are one; you can't separate them. Continue to speak God's Word concerning your situation; have some to agree with you, but you have to be speaking the Word for yourself while the other person is agreeing with you. Don't worry or speak doubt or anything that negates what God's Word says about your situation. Get that Word in your spirit and bring your request unto God. He can and will perform His Word just trust in Him and believe!
