The Prescription JOY
Rom.8:28 ‘and we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose’. Phi.4:6 ‘Do not be anxious about anything but in everything, 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’. Heb.13:6 ‘the Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?’
Phil.4:8 ‘Summing it all up friends, I’d say you’ll do the best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling and gracious – the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.’
