Philippians 4:6-7 - do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I was listening to a message by Pastor Jon Courson the other day from Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside CA. He was speaking on behalf of Pastor Greg Laurie and giving perspective when his own wife and daughter went to heaven to be with the Lord. He related how God spoke to him as he was ironing his daughters dress for church. This was shortly after his wife's passing. He asked the Lord, "Why Lord? I don't understand." He said the Lord spoke clearly and said "Jon, didn't I promise that I would give you peace that surpasses understanding?" Jon said "Yes Lord you did." The Lord said "Jon, stop trying to get peace by understanding." What a powerful word for all of us! We would get the peace we all need by simply believing God at His Word that "we have" peace at our disposal anytime we need it. If you lack peace in your life stop trying to figure out why and simply believe God that He's working your situation out for good.
