I'm not sure she believed me, but I was going to prove that that was true. Later that evening, after supper, we watched TV in the living room, and then she went out into the kitchen. When she returned, she had a bowl of chocolate fudge ice cream, and looking at me, she said, “I'm not sure if this is chocolatey enough to fix your problem tonight.” Munching on my ice cream I thought of a Bible verse. Philippians 4:6-7, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Nobody can live without problems. That's just life. But, as a Christian, I have a special resource called prayer. My prayer connects me with God's peace “which passeth all understanding.” There is no problem that in anyway compromises God's peace that He has for me. Tweet
