VERSE:
...present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which
transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.
-- Philippians 4:6-7
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Philippians+4:6-7
THOUGHT:
What guards your heart? What protects your mind? Did you know
that the peace of God can stand guard over our hearts and minds?
That's the apostle Paul's promise to us in this passage. If we will
present our requests to God, with thanksgiving, then God's peace
that is greater than any explanation and that transcends our
ability to comprehend it, will stand sentry over our hearts and
minds. You want an example of how this is true? Look at the book of
Job: All that befalls him; all that wounds him. Yet still he
doesn't become hard of heart or go insane. What is the key to his
survival? His ongoing conversation with the LORD. He will not
relinquish that relationship no matter how badly he hurts, how much
he is confused, nor how badly he is ridiculed.
PRAYER:
Father, I need your peace. There are wounds that pierce my
heart, but I don't want it to become hardened and callused. There
are times my mind is so confused that I fear I may lose my
rationality. Dear Father, I trust that as I cling to Jesus, and as
I speak openly with you about my life and your grace, that you will
bless me with your peace and will protect my heart and my mind from
destruction. Thank you, dear Father, for the reminder that even as
I struggle with my troubles, I also need to give you thanks for all
the good things that you have blessed me with in my life and my
walk with you! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
