Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything
we can understand.
His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 4:7 (NLT)

But how do you get this peace?
Well, you may notice that this scripture is the second half of an if-then statement.
God often works in covenants or contracts with us. The issue is that many Christians run around claiming the promise, but they have not fulfilled their half of the agreement.
Before you receive God’s Holy peace, there are two important things that you have to do.
1.Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need (Philippians 4:6b NLT).
2.Thank Him for all He has done (Philippians 4:6b NLT)
Many people pray, but they forget the second step.
Whenever you are in a stressful situation, it is so refreshing to stop and think of all of the things God has already done for you.
Recounting His blessings for yourself will give you the faith and reassurance that He will come through for you this time too!
Praising Him for what He has already done develops an attitude of thankfulness in your heart. That thankfulness will begin to develop God's joy and peace inside of you.
