Verse 7 continues: “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

How comforting it is to know that the God whose greatness is beyond our understanding knows us completely. He knows every fear, every burden, and every need, and He invites us to bring them all to Him in prayer.

We do not have to carry our worries alone. When we come to God with thankful hearts and place our concerns in His hands, He promises a peace greater than anything we could create or explain.
