Real Hope: PeaceSample

Seek God, Find Peace

‘Peace that passes all understanding’ is a phrase that originates from the Bible, specifically from Philippians 4:7. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Philippians, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (NKJV).

We can know a profound sense of peace that only comes from knowing and trusting in God, even during difficult circumstances. This peace is not something that can be fully explained or comprehended by our reasoning or understanding, but it’s a gift that God gives to those who have faith in Him.

This peace is not the absence of conflict or difficulties, but the knowing that God is in control and that He is working all things for good. Jesus, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6) promised His disciples peace, saying, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" (John 14:27).

How can we experience this peace? Pray and meditate on God’s Word, trust in His promises, seek His presence through worship, and be in community with other believers. God is with you, and He will never leave or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

This peace that passes all understanding is a gift from God that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. As you trust in God and seek His presence, you can experience the peace that surpasses all understanding, which guards your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
