2. Studies in Philippians Rejoice in the Lord Always

3. FOUR DAILY THINGS THAT ROB US OF JOY Petty annoyances of life Worry Negative thinking Guilt Bad people, bad things, bad thoughts, and bad deeds.

4. How Can We Rejoice in the Lord Always?

5. REACT RIGHT! Let your forbearing spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Moderation is “fairmindedness or graciousness; the attitude of a man who is charitable toward men's faults and merciful in his judgment of their failings because he takes their whole situation into his reckoning".

6. PRAY RIGHT Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

7. Some things to remember: Our prayers ought to begin with worship and adoration of God. We don’t pray for inform God, but to express faith. We need to remember that prayer is not the business of aligning God’s will with ours, but ours with God’s.

8. Don’t’ forget to give thanks. If a problem is big enough to worry about it is big enough to pray about! Expect peace.

9. THINK RIGHT Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. The word "think" conveys the idea of "pondering” or “dwelling upon”.

10. LIVE RIGHT The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things; and the God of peace shall be with you. God expects us to live up to the level of knowledge we have accumulated, while we look for new revelation!

11. Paul shows us how we can conquer the situations of life that interfere with joy. He shows us how the Lord makes it possible for us to a have peace that passes understanding in a world of chaos and agitation…always.
