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
After we have followed the
instructions in verse 6, and have prayed over all of our worries, we experience
a wonderful result: God’s peace. It doesn’t mean that all of our prayers are
immediately answered, but it does mean that we experience the “side effect” if
you will have answered prayer, peace.
Think about this: God is in eternity.
We are in time. We live one day at a time (at least we’re supposed to). God
sees everything all at once. When we pray about something that’s going on
today, God already knows the resolution of the problem whether it’s resolved 10
minutes, 10 days or 10 years from now. He knows the peace we will have when
that time comes.
When we turn our worries over to God
in prayer, He gives us something that does not rightfully belong to us yet. God
gives us peace as if everything has already been taken care of. Now, this peace
“exceeds anything we can understand,” so just enjoy it and thank God for what
is to come.
