P E A C E   O F   M I N D
Philippians 4:7

How do you get your mind to calm down when worries and fear come your way?  How do we trust God when everything we can see points to failure and despair?  Take heart in the words of today's scripture verse.

In Paul's letter to his friends in Philippi he writes at chapter 4 and verse 7, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension shall guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.” 

Trust the Lord to continue to give you peace of mind and confidence of heart when you pray.  Look to Him for what you need in all areas of your life.

Look to the Lord for wisdom in relationships, for knowledge in class, for abilities and courage in competition.  He has everything we need to be people that honor Him. 

Be assured that when we look to our Lord for these matters, we will be met with a peace that is far beyond what the human mind can comprehend.  We will be carried along by the Lord's peace as a dove carries a flower.

The peace that the Lord gives serves to guard our hearts and our minds.  It guards our hearts from pain and despair.  It guards our minds from confusion and frustration.

As you pray today, rest in the peace of God and trust Him to guard your heart and mind through your relationship with Christ Jesus.
