Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ..
Philippians 4:6 AMP
A petition is best presented written down. It's a clear and defined request...one key way of dealing with worry, anxiety, fear...is to write down what it is, and wrote down our conversation with God.
This helps order our thoughts, give clarity to what is causing us to be anxious, and often helps us see our anxiety in a new, more manageable way...see our fears for what they really are...
So write your petition to God, your prayers, your joys, sorrows, victories and disappointments, songs and stories...share your heart with our heavenly Father...

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
