Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all you do. Remember that the Lord is coming soon. Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything; tell God your needs and don't forget to Thank Him for His answers. If you do this you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:5-7 (TLB)
All is well in our thoughts, our minds and our attitudes when we pray. I know from my own experience how easy it is to get frustrated and dreadful about a situation before it happens. I know that many of us women have a pap smear annually. About a month before we are scheduled to have it, we begin to have anxiety, remorse in being a woman and sometimes we put it off hoping that will ease all of the emotions that are connected to this annual necessity. I don't know if I ever became comfortable in having this procedure; however, once it was over and I was on my way home, I do remember feeling relieved and overjoyed,
knowing I do not have to do this again until next year! UNLESS it comes back abnormal!
This is what it means to pray about everything, tell God your needs and don't forget to Thank Him for His answers ~ ~ ~ Yes even in having your annual pap smear, you can pray for courage or deliverance from dread each time you have it done. Many times the thing we fear the most is not truly the actual thing itself, but how we feel having it done; or our mental attitude towards it.
Having a pap smear is necessary, as we all know, to prevent precancerous cells in the cervix. However, this is an example of how our mental attitude can change our whole demeanor and many times, what we are fearing is not life threatening or damaging to us in anyway! That is what is meant in Philippians when it says don't worry about anything, instead pray about everything and you will experience God's peace, which surpasses all understanding! Have a Blessed Weekend!
