Philippians 4

Writing from prison, Paul tells the Philippians to rejoice in the Lord always and not to be anxious about anything, but to bring every request to God with thanksgiving, and God's peace will guard their hearts. He has learned contentment in plenty and in need: he can do all things through Christ.
