Be careful for nothing ...
"But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but Holy Ghost," Mk. 13:11.
but in every thing by prayer ...
Pray in Holy Ghost by laying your hands on word of God, comparing scripture with scripture; rightly dividing words of truth ... because they are spiritually discerned (I Co. 2:14).
and supplication ...
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find
knock, and it shall be opened unto you," Mt. 7:7.
with thanksgiving ...
Strait is gate ... "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving ..." Ps. 100:4.
let your requests be made known unto God.
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven," Mt. 6:10.

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do:
and God of peace shall be with you."
Ph. 4:8-9
