How do you have peace, especially in the middle of life’s storms? Paul gives us a template. Pray with thanksgiving. Don’t allow anxiety to rob you of a thankful heart which is a key to experiencing God’s peace. This peace is supernatural – it comes only from God. It is superior – it is beyond our comprehension or anything manufactured by the world. It is security – it guards, shields, protects our otherwise anxious hearts and minds. When we think about the virtues listed in verse 8, they will help us offer our petitions with thanksgiving so that we can experience the peace of God.
