“Be anxious about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, will keeps you hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4:6
There is no peace like the peace that passes understanding!
When you don’t understand why? God’s peace promises a good reason-
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” (a future and a hope) Jeremiah 29:11
“He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him” Psalm 145:19
When you don’t understand when? God’s peace promises a perfect time-
“For yet a little while and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry.” Hebrews 10:37
When you don’t understand where? God’s peace promises He will be with us-
“I will go before thee and make the crooked places straight;” Isaiah 45:2
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.”Ps. 23:4
“Fear not for I am with thee: be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness..” Isaiah 41:10
When you don’t understand how? The peace of God promises a way-
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27
And finally, will God forget to keep His promises to you? The peace of God says NO!-
“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet I will not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee on the palms of my hands.” Isaiah 49: 15-16
“Trust in the LORD with ALL thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.“ Proverbs 3:5
