I have been holding this scripture very closely to my heart over the past month. God has been teaching me about true peace from him. I have always struggled my whole life with worry and trying to control my own life, but God is slowly but surely teaching me to trust him completely and know the peace that can only come from him. Hope this scripture is encouraging to you.
Always be joyful because you belong to the Lord. I will say it again. Be joyful. Let everyone know how gentle you are. The Lord is coming soon. Don't worry about anything. Instead, tell God about everything. Ask and pray. Give thanks to him. Then God's peace will watch over your hearts and your minds because you belong to Christ Jesus. God's peace can never be completely understood. Finally my brothers and sisters, always think about what is true. Think about what is noble, right, and pure. Think about what is lovely and worthy of respect. If anything is excellent or worthy of praise, think about those kinds of things. Do what you have learned or received or heard from me. Follow my example. The God who gives peace will be with you.
