God promises to provide care and blessings, but he does not promise to shield us from the possibility of being hurt.
The fruit of gentleness is an attribute that should be evident to all people.
Although the church of Philippi faced a difficult situation, their faith was unwavering through persecution.
While in prison, Paul wrote a letter to the Philippians to remind all believers that God is with us always and He never fails us in our moments of need. It’s a powerful example of faith that we can look back on for hope and guidance in our own lives.
Anxiety
The Greek root word used in the verse for “anxious” is merimnate, which is derived from two Greek words – merizo (“to divide”) and nous (“the mind”). it literally means “to be divided, distracted.”

Worry and anxiety divides our minds and leads us away from God.
In worry, we talk to ourselves.
In prayer, we talk to God.
When we worry, we focus on the circumstances of life, but in prayer, we focus on our Heavenly Father.

Peace gives you a sense of quietness or reassurance of heart that God will come through.
It will take whatever defensive or offensive action is necessary to protect your heart and mind.
This is the kind of peace God offers. It’s not a passive peace but an active peace that is fighting on your behalf.
