Peace is a many-faceted concept. In light of God’s promises, His perfect peace was made available to you when you became a child of God. God’s word ensures that you came to a place of peace with God at the moment of your redemption, and there remains nothing more to reconcile between you and God. God continues to offer you His peace, and that comes from your continued dependence on and trust in Him, no matter what difficulties and challenges you might endure.
Then, you are able to experience the peace of God that projects beyond any human understanding, if you are willing. This supernatural peace is there, waiting for you to encounter, but it is not guaranteed; you must pray, petition, and thank God, while you you make your specific requests known. If you will worship and commune with God; convey a sense of urgency that reflects your deepest personal desires; and express your profound gratefulness for God’s grace, provision, and blessings; and do so while making your appeal with utter humility, then, “The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and thoughts.” There is no magic here; you are simply standing on God’s promise because, “The insistent prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective.” Then, take the peace you have with, from, and of God and steward it faithfully by aspiring to live at peace with all men!
