Want Peace?



Philippians 4:6-7 (New King James Version)


6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;


7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.


Philippians 4:6-7 (Amplified Bible)


6Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.


7And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.



Today I will lay all my circumstances, all my downfalls, all my crowns, and everything I am, at the feet of Jesus. I will make a definite request to the Lord by prayer and petitions, with a thankful heart, continually before the Lord. I know He hears my cry so I will petition Him. I will not cease until I see the mountain removed.


Today I will receive God's peace into my life. Because I have received this tranquil state of my soul that is assured of its salvation through Christ. This peace can not be understood and so people will not understand my calmness in the storm. But one thing is for sure, He has heard my prayers and petitions so you will see me come out the other end of the storm victorious and singing His praises.


Selah
