Lesson 4

Peace of God
Be anxious for nothing, 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 minds through Christ Jesus . ~Philippians 4:6 (NKJV) The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. ~Philippians 4:9 (NKJV) The peace of God doing a warriors duty, standing guard over our hearts and thoughts, protecting against the assaults that would otherwise harass and worry us, spoiling our joy. ~ J. B. Lightfoot
