Chunks: Paul's Letter to the Philippians

If you’re anxious about something, you don’t want someone to tell you to “cheer up.” Nor do you want them to just say, “Don’t worry.” When we read Philippians 4, it can sound like Paul is saying exactly that. But what he wants is to help the Philippians cope with their anxiety by going to God in prayer and remembering the reasons they have to be grateful.
