5. Let everyone know how considerate you are. The Lord is near.
6. Never worry about anything. But in every situation let God know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks.
7. Then God’s peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus.
8. Finally, brothers and sisters, keep your thoughts on whatever is right or deserves praise: things that are true, honorable, fair, pure, acceptable, or commendable.
