Philippians 4

Paul urged his readers to rejoice in the Lord and depend on Him for their needs. By allowing God to supply those needs, the anxiety of the world will be replaced by the peace of God. We are to dwell on the good things that God has made and learn to be content with whatever we have (or don't have).

So many people don't want to admit they need anyone else - even God. God says without depending on Him, we can't know true peace. Dependence on God is not showing weakness; it is not a crutch. He has offered to provide for our needs so that we can spend less time thinking about the things of this world and more on the things of eternity.
