Daily Devotional: The Peace of God Will Guard My Heart

Read Philippians 4:6-7

There’s power in prayer! I’m sure you’ve heard that at least once, twice or a hundred times throughout your Christian walk. You may even have doubted that statement nearly as often as you’ve heard it. Be assured; the power is there. You just may not recognize it. This power does not come because some great prayer that was spoken by someone who used wonderful words, did not pause between sentences, and did not falter to find the right words. The power is in the peace that God gives us when we take our worries and turn them into prayers – even if they aren’t eloquent. God is ready to guard our hearts and minds with His peace, so we do not feel anxious about anything. Picture yourself taking all your worries, packing them into a box, and then sending them on a one-way trip to God. He will take care of them for you. When you are willing to do just that, you will fell His peace in your life, allowing you to see what opportunities God has for you. Now that’s power!
