“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, 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 (NIV)
Fear cannot win.
Anxiety cannot take me over.
Worry is vanquished.
Nothing can penetrate the Lord’s protection.
The peace of God guards my heart and mind.
Lord why do I let the heaviness of the world weigh me down?
Too often I forget You promised to be with me always, tenderly protecting my heart and mind in Your almighty hands.
Your power is greater than anything the devil throws at me or I imagine in weak melancholy moments.
The peace of God guards my heart and mind.
Amazing, Lord, that what shields me is your peace.
Your peace is my shelter and watchful guard.
And all you ask of me is not to be anxious, but lift everything up to You in prayer.
With a heart brimming over with gratitude, I thank You for your protection of peace.
I have been such a worry-wart lately. I needed this. God bless!
Jean I think I posted my reply … Again you have caused me to reflect on God’s gift of peace. Clella
The image of peace being my protection was thought provoking for me, thanks for the comment Karen
I like that, Peace is a shield. Good comforting truths.
