The document discusses different perspectives on worry according to Philippians 4:4-9. It says worry is a matter of perspective, and as Christians we don't need to worry because God is in charge. It encourages having a godly perspective that is positive, seeing possibilities and the best in people, rather than a human perspective that is negative, critical and focuses on problems. It outlines Paul's perspectives of joy, peace, and being positive according to scripture. These perspectives give us the ability to thrive despite life's difficulties by focusing on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely and admirable.

Do not be anxious about
anything, but in everything, by
prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your
requests to God. 7 And the peace
of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus.

Finally, brothers, whatever is

excellent or praiseworthy-think
about such things. 9 Whatever
you have learned or received or
heard from me, or seen in me-put
it into practice. And the God of
peace will be with you.

14. One of the greatest
challenges in the
Christian walk is to
remain positive for
Christ in a negative and
confused world. Our
attitude shapes the
kind of walk with God
that we will experience.

15. PAUL’S
PERSPECTIV
ES THAT’S
WHY HE
DON’T
WORRY:

16. THE
PERSPECTI
VE OF JOY

17. TRUE JOY CAN NEVER
B E C O N TA I N E D A N D I T
CAN NEVER BE
CONFINED.

18. Real joy impacts the way that
we live and changes us. Joy is
transforming and inspiring.
Real joy has absolutely
nothing to do with situations,
circumstances or anything of
this earth. Real joy is the
found in the greatness of
knowing Christ, having His
presence in your life and
seeking His Kingdom with
your life. It is this joy that
gives us the ability to thrive in
the daily grind of life.

19. THE
PERSPECTI
VE OF
PEACE

20. The word peace means to
be bound, woven together
or united. The only way that
we can ever truly
experience peace is when
our lives are bound and
united with God through
Christ. The reason that
most people become
negative and critical is
because they lack this
essential peace.

21. P R AY
take your concerns to God

22. TA L K
share your concerns

23. LET IT GO

24. THE
PERSPECTIVE
OF BEING
POSITIVE

25. The truth is that we will
become what we think and
how we think will shape
our habits. Our habits
shape the kind of life that
we will live. Where you
keep your thoughts is
where your life will go.

26. What you put into your
mind will come out in the
form of behavior. When
you dwell on thoughts
focused on sinful actions
or attitudes, you are far
more likely to live out
sinful behaviors.

27. P H I L I P P I A N S
4 : 8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is
right, whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely, whatever is admirable--if
anything is excellent or
praiseworthy--think about such
things.

28. Paul is calling the
Philippians church to
focus on the positive
rather than the negative.

29. TRUE
the ultimate Truth is the
Bible, when you fill your
mind with scripture, it goes
a long way to building a
positive basis for living.

30. NOBLE
These are things that are
given the dignity of
holiness.

31. RIGHT
Our mind is to place its
focus on things that are
right.

32. PURE
Our mind is to be centered
on things that are morally
clean and unpolluted.

33. L O V E LY
This is not about beauty but
rather is focused on
kindness.

34. ADMIRABLE
These are things that are
worthy or of high quality.

35. EXCELLENT OR
PRAISEWORTH
Y
Thinking about things that
are morally excellent and
worthy of giving God praise
will help you develop a
positive Christian attitude.

37. P H I L I P P I A N S
4 : 1 0 - 1 3
I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at
last you have renewed your
concern for me. Indeed, you have
been concerned, but you had no
opportunity to show it. I am not
saying this because I am in need,
for I have learned to be content
whatever the circumstances.

38. P H I L I P P I A N S
4 : 1 0 - 1 3
12 I know what it is to be in need,
and I know what it is to have
plenty. I have learned the secret
of being content in any and every
situation, whether well fed or
hungry, whether living in plenty or
in want. 13 I can do everything
through (Christ) who gives me
strength.

39. P S A L M

and he will give you the
desires of your heart.

man.

Believe in the Lord Jesus,
and you will be saved.
