The
God Of Peace Will Be With You
Do not be anxious about
anything, but in every situation, 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.
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 you have learned or received or
heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be
with you.
Philippians
4:6-9
Believers in Jesus can
have peace in the midst of uncertainties because we have the assurance that our
heavenly Father loves His children and cares for our needs. We can bring all of
our concerns to Him with an attitude of thankfulness, trusting Him to meet our
needs and give us peace.
Our peace comes from
the confidence that the Lord loves us and He is in control. He alone provides
the comfort that settles our nerves, fills our minds with hope, and allows us
to relax even in the midst of changes and challenges.
You
will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You,
because he trusts in You.
