The Peace of God

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7

Por nada estén afanosos; antes bien, en todo, mediante oración y súplica con acción de gracias, sean dadas a conocer sus peticiones delante de Dios. Y la paz de Dios, que sobrepasa todo entendimiento, guardará sus corazones y sus mentes en Cristo Jesús. – Filipenses 4:6-7

Do you trust completely in the Lord Jesus Christ? I mean for all things, great and small? For health, wealth, happiness, but also in persecution, trials, and tribulations? When you fully trust in the Lord, you will find that anxiety disappears, and this “peace of God,” which does, in fact, surpass all understanding, will come over you, and you can feel it. You get a distinct feeling – a sense of complete calmness. You are not the source of this peace – it is of God Himself, which He is giving to you. But this only happens when you fully and completely trust in the Lord for all things and have made petition before and to Him in prayer as instructed in Scripture. Peace and trust are closely linked. Nothing happens to a Christian by luck or chance – God is in full control of all things in the life of a Christian. In fact, anxiety for a Christian stems largely from a lack of faith. So when you are facing something tough, offer up your prayers and petitions (requests) to God, and then let Him be in control – trust in the Lord completely. And He will give you His peace, which is amazing!
