Peace of mind and heart

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid” (John 14:27 NLT).

It’s God’s gift to you!

God’s peace of mind and heart is a gift that you receive by faith — you don’t have to work for it, or beg for it. You get it as a free gift of grace that only God can provide (the world cannot). So, even though troubles may come your way, you don’t have to be troubled or afraid! You take it to God and he will provide peace that surpasses all understanding to guard your heart and mind.

Do not be anxious about anything

“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.” (Phil. 4:6-7 ESV)

Because Jesus said…

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 ESV)

Therefore…

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” (Isa. 26:3 ESV)
