Rejoice and Rest in God’s Peace: A Reflection on Philippians 4:4-7
by Carolyn Frayne
Philippians 4:4-7, New Revised Standard Version
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6 Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Rejoice! Be gentle to all. The Lord is near. Do not worry, if you pray with much thanksgiving then you can make your requests known to God! The Peace of God, which is beyond all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.
