02/15 – Peace That Guards

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)

The peace of God is not fragile—it is a guard. It stands watch over hearts and minds. This peace is Christ Himself ruling in us. His cross reconciled us; His Spirit steadies us.
Quietness in Christ is not passive—it is protection. His peace shields us from fear and doubt. To exalt Jesus is to live guarded by His presence.

  • Peace in Christ is stronger than fear in the world.
  • God’s peace is not weak; it is a guard.
  • Quiet hearts are defended hearts.
  • Christ Himself is our peace.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for guarding what we cannot. Your peace is greater than our understanding. Keep our hearts steady in You. Let our calm reveal Your rule.
Holy Spirit, stand as sentinel over our minds. Push back the lies of the enemy. Let Christ’s peace shine as testimony of His reign.

Poem — “Peace on Guard”
Peace stands watch.
Hearts rest steady.
Minds stay clear.
Fear retreats.
Christ protects.

The cross secured it.
The Spirit applies it.
Faith receives it.
Hope enjoys it.
Jesus provides it.

Guarded by Christ.
Defended in love.
Secured in grace.
Anchored in peace.
Glory to God.
