Philippians 4:6
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
«Não andem ansiosos por coisa alguma; antes, em tudo, apresentem os seus pedidos a Deus» chama os crentes a trocar a ansiedade pela oração, levando tudo a Deus com ações de graças.

The command is sweeping — “anything” and “everything.” No worry is too small or too large to bring to God.
The replacement for anxiety is prayer “with thanksgiving.” The next verse promises the result: “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,” guarding our hearts. Worry is answered not by trying harder to relax but by handing it to God.
Does this verse mean Christians should never feel anxious?
It’s a call and a remedy, not a rebuke for ever feeling anxious. It points worried people toward prayer and the peace God gives.
