Philippians 4:19 - "But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Let's not forget that our God gives us everything we have.  Do we really take the time to thank Him and do His blessings cause us to give more back to Him?  Daily remember how great He is and understand how much we need Him. - Jason Brothers

Philippians 2:4 - "Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." This is the Bible's antidote to depression. If I focus on my own hurts and woes, I'll easily slip into spiritual lethargy and self-pity. But if I shift my thoughts to care for others, I'll find myself energized and excited about how God is using me in the lives of others. - Daniel Holser

Philippians 4:7 - "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Throughout this letter Paul tells us "I have all, and abound"; "my God shall supply"; "Rejoice in the Lord"; "I thank my God"; "I trust in the Lord"; Over and over Paul reminds us that whatever we are going through in life (in Paul's case, he was in prison anticipating his death) don't worry because God is in complete control. He is allowing the circumstances for a reason, and that reason is always to strengthen us. God's peace which passeth all understanding led Paul to say "in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." - Garrett Longest

Philippians 3:17 - "Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample." I'm so thankful that we have a church full of Christ-honoring men and women that my children can look up to as they grow up. - Phil Dann

Philippians 2:3 - "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem other better than themselves." The Bible also tells us that "only by pride cometh contention." We need to check our hearts for pride and take upon ourselves, as Christ did, the form of a servant. - Daniel Holser

Philippians 4:6-7 - “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” We are to come to Christ by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving for all our cares whether small or large. I Peter 5: 7 states, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” Verse 6 reminds us to bring all our requests to God with thanksgiving.  We all have much to thank Christ Jesus starting with our salvation, family, and church. - Clifford Myers

Philippians 4:11-12 - "Not that I speak in respect of want for I have  learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound every where and in all things I am instructed both to be hungry both to abound and to suffer need." A long time ago a good friend shared this verse with me and it helped me through a tough time...thought I would share it in case someone is having a tough time. Lean on Jesus and your Christian brothers! - Wes Smith

 Philippians 4:19 - "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." I don't find this so much to be about money but rather about the rich amount of glory that Jesus offers. We need glory, and salvation brings us into a union with His greatness that meets that need. - Daniel Holser
