One of the commands I don’t take as seriously as I should is Paul’s exhortation to, “Be anxious for nothing.”

(Side note: Is it just me or do avocados have a shelf life of approximately six seconds?)
The surrounding verses, which are both staggeringly comforting and incredibly challenging, say:
Be anxious for nothing, 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 through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
