This is something written and sent to my computer inbox on July 27 of this year; long before we were hearing such things as War in Israel. Gaza. And a bunch of other words in the news often, as of late.
 

From Prayer to Peace
 

"Believing prayer ushers in God’s peace. Not a random, nebulous, earthly peace, but his peace, imported from heaven. The same tranquility that marks the throne room, God offers to you. Do you think he battles anxiety? You suppose he ever wrings his hands or asks for antacids? Of course not. A problem is no more a challenge to God than a twig is to an elephant. God enjoys perfect peace because God enjoys perfect power. And he offers his peace to you. A peace that will 'guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus' (Philippians 4:7 NLT).

"The Philippians, living in a garrison town, were accustomed to the Roman sentries maintaining their watch. God oversees your world. He monitors your life. Listen carefully and you will hear him say, 'Everything is secure. You can rest now.'"
