God gives you peace

 God gives you peace

Philippians 4:4-9

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. 

The Lord is near.

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, 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.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters,

whatever is true, whatever is noble,

whatever is right, whatever is pure,

whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable 

- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - 

think about such things.

9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, 

or seen in me - put it into practice.

And the God of peace will be with you. 

1 Peter 5:6-7

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand,

that he may lift you up in due time.

7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.

I do not give to you as the world gives.

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 

Colossians 3:15-17

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,

since as members of one body you were called to peace.

And be thankful.

16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you 

richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom 

through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, 

singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus,

giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Amen.

May God guard my heart.  

I cast my worries to you so that they cannot get back to my mind.
