Philippians 4:6-9 -- On Prayer and Peace

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you."
Philippians 4:6-9


I like the idea of God's peace being beyond our comprehension, because it is just that amazing. Paul is teaching us how to find peace here, which is a really awesome thing to have the opportunity to learn. He suggests prayer and talking to God about our lives, requesting the things that we need, and also thinking about positive things. Today, let's review the list and maybe take some time to think on some good and praiseworthy things, and talk to God in prayer to get help letting go of the poisonous things that are ruining our peace.
