It is hard to have peace while we are living in this world. People hurt us emotionally and physically. However, how does one recieve peace. Philipians 4:6-7 says [glow=red,2,300]6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.[/glow]
It lets us know that if we trust in the Lord and give our hurts and worries and fears to the Lord, than we will recieve peace. Paul also says in Philipians 4:11 [glow=red,2,300]11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content[/glow]
No matter where we are we can learn to be content or happy. You may ask how can Paul tell us this. How can he possibly know my situation. Paul is not alive and it was a long time ago. Well, will it help to know that Paul was in prison when he wrote Philipians. Prison than was not like prison now. Prison was worse than. He was in chains and probably beaten and worn down. They didn't have comfort like the people here in jail have. Yet Paul found peace. How did he find peace. Through Christ Jesus. He teaches us that we may have peace through Christ Jesus.
