Oct 28. Day 301- Peace of God Passes All Understanding. Philippians 4.7

“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

Welcome to another daily prayer. Prayer works. Approach life with a sense of calm and mindfulness, let prayer be your refuge, and do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation—whether big or small—bring your requests to God through heartfelt prayer and earnest supplication, accompanied by a spirit of gratitude. By doing so, you open the door to a profound sense of peace that comes from God, a peace that transcends our human understanding. This divine tranquility will guard and sustain your hearts and minds, providing strength and reassurance through your faith in Christ Jesus.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. I want to welcome every one of you to another episode of our EBC Prayer Podcast. I hope your day's off to a great start, and I hope you're doing something great today.

But I thank God that we're able to come together for another moment to pray. Remember, I am your host. I am Dr. Victoria Haddad, the First Lady of Elyon Bible Church Apostolic in New Jersey.

I love God, and I know you love God. And He's reminding us that He's a peaceful Savior who can do more for us than we could ever ask or think of. So we're going to thank God, and we're going to pray, and we're going to celebrate God.

And it doesn't matter what you're going through, like the songwriter said, it's not His will for any of us to perish. And that's why we can pray. 

Our scripture will be taken from Philippians 4:7, and it reads, “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.”

Today we can celebrate, we can pray with assurance, because God is keeping us because of the peace he has towards us. 

Let us pray. 

Father, we thank you for another day. Father, we thank you for your grace and your mercy. 

Lord, we thank you for your peace that passes all understanding. Thank you for reminding us that you are a peaceful Savior, a Savior who wants more for us than we even want for ourselves.

Oh, Father God, you want us to have a comfortable day because you want us to have joy and peace. Oh, God, as we go through this day and we think about you, thank you for being in our midst, for encouraging us and motivating us and helping us that no matter what we go through, we can have a peaceful day because we serve a peaceful Savior.

And so, Father, as we are praying today, we thank you for reminding us, Oh, Father, and the peace of God, which passes all understanding.

Sometimes we don't understand things, sometimes we don't comprehend, but we thank you, God, for uplifting our spirit through this prayer, reminding us that your peace, the peace of God, passes all understanding. You will help us to understand. You will help us to pray. You will help us to seek you. You will help us to surrender to you. You will help us to truly know you and know the plans you have for us. You help us enjoy this day. Because Lord God, though the tempest, like the songwriter said, may rage, trials may come, hardship may come, but Lord, you're reminding us that you give us peace. No matter what comes our way, we can have peace in you.

And so Father, as we go through this day, help us to know that you are a God of peace. We serve our peaceful Savior. Help us to know that God, you are passing all understanding. You're encouraging us how to be peaceful. You're encouraging us how to understand your desire for us to be peaceful. And you God, you said you'll keep our hearts and minds. Oh Father, God, through your word, through you, it will stay peaceful in you. You will direct us. You will give us the strength we need to keep holding on to you. You will help us to trust you. You will help us not to get distracted of the trials of this life, but you will help us to have peace and glorify your holy name. 

Father, we are surrendering to you. And we are asking you, God, to go ahead of us and prosper this day. God, we are asking you to help us not to give up on you. Help us to trust you. Help us to love you. Help us to find peace in you. Oh, God, help us to surrender to you so your will can be accomplished in our lives.

Help us not to give up on you, God, because you have not given up on us. Help us to pray earnestly. Help us to seek you wholeheartedly. Help us to surrender fully to you because you are a peaceful, wonderful, mighty, brilliant Savior, a wonderful God. Nothing is impossible for you. There's nothing that you cannot do.

There's nothing, God, that limits your power and work in our lives. You want us to have a comfortable day. You want us to praise you. You want us to glorify you. You want us  not to try to fix every issue in our life because sometimes, God, we don't even know how to fix those issues. We don't know how to fix disappointment at times. We don't know how to fix discouragement at times, but you know how to take care of us, God. And so you're reminding us just to have peace today. 

And so, Lord, we thank you for that reminder. We thank you for encouraging us to have peace today. And God, cover all of our leaders under your blood. Cover everyone that's related to us under your blood. Cover everyone that we meet under your blood, and everyone we encounter, cover under your blood. 

Lord, you know everything that this day has in store. More than we even know. You know the plans you have for us. And we are asking you to use us for your glory.

Help us not to give up on you, God. Not to get discouraged. Not to make decisions that are not pleasing to you. But help us to find peace in you. 

Father, we are praying that you remember all of those who are listening to this podcast. And God, encourage everyone, who are praying, not to give up on you, not to stop praying, but to trust you wholeheartedly, to pray convincingly, and to know that we serve a God who knows the plans he had for us, a God who wants to bless us, a God who wants to prosper us, a God who wants to shower us with blessing that we don't even have room enough to receive.

And so, Father, we are asking you to help us to surrender fully to you, so that your will can be done in our lives. Thank you for this day. Thank you for everyone who is praying.

And Lord, we pray that you help us to have a wonderful day. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you, Lord. Everyone who is praying, don't stop praying. Keep on trusting God. Keep on depending upon Him. And let His will be accomplished in your life. Have a wonderful day. And we pray again tomorrow.
