In several of the churches I attended as a child (We moved a LOT!) the pastor would use the words of Philippians 4:7 as a benediction. To this day, whenever I hear these words an indescrible blanket of peace settles over me. Paul uses these words to describe the blessing we receive when we rejoice in the Lord, are gentle in our relationships, give our worries to the Lord, pray and give thanks for everything. When we obey and submit in, through, and too His Name, peace is indeed ours.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:7 NIV)
