Living Without Hurry and Worry in “Such a Time as This” – a Letter from the Roman Jail

Baylor University and Truitt Seminary Church Staff Retreat
Retreat Theme: For Such a Time as This
February 23-24, 2004

Philippians 4:6-8

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. 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 comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
