Colossians 4 is such wonderful material. Let’s read verse 4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be know to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, 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 understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Lord God, I thank you for a grace-filled weekend at St. Andrew’s. Where hearts are troubled out there, we ask for the gift of peace. May worry be displaced by THANKSGIVING! Guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amen.
