Dad had this scripture hi-lighted in his Bible and wrote beside it "Right praying, pray for everything": "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 4:6-7.
