I came across this prayer this morning which led me to do some reading in Phillipians. How often amidst the chaos of life do I forget to give thanks. I am blessed in more ways than I can fathom.

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
