"Rejoice in The Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:4-7 (NIV)
In his letter to the Christians in Philippi, the Apostle Paul wrote these words to encourage them to strive to be Christ-like. Because their joy comes form The Lord, they should not worry about anything. They pray and give thanks, and ask God for what they want. Because they are believers, God will protect them and give them peace.
We need to understand that our joy comes from The Lord. We believe in Him and He blesses us. We pray and thank Him and ask for more blessings. Don't worry about anything, pray about everything. Because we belong to Him, He will protect us and provide for us.
