Philippians 4:4-6

Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I will say rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all people. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your requests known to God.

When we rejoice in the Lord during our trials, we are centering our faith on God. We are not allowing our thoughts to wander toward doubt, circumstances, or unbelief. Faith requires focus and casting down the distractions that try to make us worried or anxious. Continue to speak our authority given to us through Jesus and proclaim the Word of God over our situation.
