The Peace of God

The Scriptures are a source of incredible encouragement in times like this. The apostle Paul writes the following words in his letter to the church in Philippi…

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵ Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

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. ⁹ 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 4:4-9

We can be assured of great peace when we make our concerns and requests known to God along with thanksgiving. You do not have to allow anxiety and fear rule your heart. Instead, God promises to guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus. A personal relationship with Christ brings great peace and assurance when things around you are uncertain. The Bible also tells us to think on the right things. When you put all of this into practice, the God of peace will be with you.
