Here’s the path to peace that never ends: 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).
Here’s the promise of peace that never ends: Of His peace there will be no end (Isaiah 9:7).
There’s a peace about her, even when life is disappointing and hard.
Her secret?
She prays.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace (Philippians 4:6-7 bold mine).
Thank God for all he has done. . . . Then you will experience God’s peace (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT).
A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body (Proverbs 14:30 NLT).
Thankfulness brings peace which leads to health.
Pray with thanksgiving.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
My father-in-law* sat in his Florida home, waiting and watching for Hurricane Irma to arrive.
Every time I spoke with him he quoted Philippians 4:6-7. “In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds.”
He found this to be true.
So can you.
*His home and neighborhood, though buffeted by winds, were virtually unharmed by the storm.
Prayer brings peace.
Let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
The glory and peace that angels proclaimed (see Luke 2:13-14) when Jesus was born are realized today when we pray.
Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son (John 14:13).
Let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds (from Philippians 4:6-7).
My biggest problem is not my situation. It’s that I worry about it.
The Lord perceives my anxious thoughts. He offers me His peace as I pray (from Psalm 139:2,23; John 14:27; Philippians 4:6-7).
