While Paul languished in a Roman prison, a situation that must have brought him considerable anxiety, he wrote to fellow believers: “Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. ” — Philippians 1: 13; 4: 6, 7.
Semasa Paulus menderita dalam penjara di Roma, suatu situasi yang pasti membuatnya khawatir, ia menulis kepada rekan - rekan seimannya, ” Jangan khawatir akan apa pun, tetapi dalam segala sesuatu nyatakanlah permintaanmu kepada Allah melalui doa dan permohonan yang disertai ucapan syukur; dan kedamaian dari Allah, yang lebih unggul daripada segala akal, akan menjaga hatimu dan kekuatan mentalmu melalui Kristus Yesus. ” ​ — Filipi 1: 13; 4: 6, 7.
