Peace comes in the "handing over" to God. We pray....make our request known to God....acknowledging that He is in control. But saying thank you before we've even received the answer....especially the answer we desire? What if He says no to what we request? What if He seems silent? Can we say thank you & mean it? Even if we don't get what we asked for? Peace is, knowing that He has heard our prayer....is answering it according to His will for us.....knowing that "all things work together for good, to those that love the Lord...." And most of all, knowing that this peace comes from Him...it's a peace beyond our understanding....He gives it to us when we truly hand it over to Him with a thankful heart. We can't attain this peace ourselves....He gives it to us. Thank you Jesus!
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. (Philippians 4:6-7 ESV)
