Philippians 4:6-7 - Peace Beyond Understanding.
Philippians 4:6-7: Peace Beyond Understanding.
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, 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.
Philippians 4:6-7 (JB) There is no need to worry; but if there
is anything you need, pray for it, asking God for it with prayer
and thanksgiving, 7 and that peace of God, which is so much greater
than we can understand, will guard your hearts and your thoughts, in
Christ Jesus.
COMMENTARY PEARL
Did you know that when you have lost your peace of mind you
have the power to regain it? Anytime you find that you are worrying,
fretful, or anxious about anything, release the problem to God through a
simple heartfelt prayer and purposely think about something in your
life that is good! Worrying is completely useless. It wears you out
mentally, emotionally, and physically and it doesn't make your problem any
better at all.
Peace of mind is valuable, and it is quite impossible to
enjoy life without it. Seek and pursue the peace that is yours through
Jesus Christ. Don't be deceived into believing that you can't help
what you think, because you absolutely can. You can change your mind
about anything! Practice 'on purpose' thinking instead of being
passive and merely waiting to see what thoughts fall into your mind.
I can share with you that I experience the same mental
battles that many people do, and I have to practice having peace on
purpose. You are a child of God, and His peace is in you. I recommend
that you start recognizing the things that are stealing your peace
and deal with them so they can no longer torment you.
Father, I love You very much, and I want to enjoy peace of
mind. I know that worry is useless, but I often do it and I am sorry.
Work with me and teach me how to trust You enough to enjoy Your peace
at all times. [My Time with God by Joyce Meyer]
