Why do I share Philippians 4:8? It is my favorite Bible verse and I want to encourage everyone with the truth that is given in its instruction. I would love for you to be a Chist follower, but I think this verse shows you, even if you don't believe, why so many people find comfort in accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. I say give Him a chance to see what positive influence He can make in your life. Prayer is simply talking to Him. Just try.

Philippians 4:8: Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

​

“Whatever is true” — Focus on what is real and trustworthy, not lies, assumptions, or fear.
“Whatever is noble” — Think about things that are honorable, respectable, and worthy of admiration.
“Whatever is right” — Focus on what is morally good and pleasing to God.
“Whatever is pure” — Keep your thoughts clean and free from things that corrupt your heart and mind.
“Whatever is lovely” — Look for beauty, kindness, love, and things that bring people together.
“Whatever is admirable” — Pay attention to things that are worthy of respect and a good reputation.
“If anything is excellent” — Look for excellence rather than constantly focusing on what's wrong.
“If anything is praiseworthy” — Think about things that deserve gratitude, encouragement, and praise.
“Think about such things” — This is the key: we have a responsibility to be intentional about what we allow our minds to dwell on.
