Don't worry but pray(Philippians 4:6-7)

f:id:veilchen23:20200718101535p:plain

The verse above is not NIV(New International Version) but NLT(New Living Translation). It seems that the Word of God is mainly quoted from the two versions. So, I've added NLT to the app HOLY BIBLE.  There is only Philippians 4:6 on the above image. However, as I think Philippians 4:6 and 7 is like "one set", I show the whole verses below.

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. (NLT)

Below is the same verses in NIV, which is more familiar to me.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (NIV)

Amplified Bible has the specific explanation, which helps us to go nearer the right place for understanding.

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours].(AMP) 

Here's another unique version, The Message which I haven't known so far.

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.(MSG)
