Phillippians 4:5-7

We need to be gentle with each other, believers and unbelievers, in the wisdom that the Holy Spirit provides. 

The noun gentleness identifies a person who manifests a calmness and fairness of spirit. A person who is gentle is willing to sacrifice his or her own personal rights to show consideration to others. NKJ Bible.
By displaying gentleness toward all people—believers and unbelievers alike—Christians reveal the gospel’s power to transform and reconcile. Faithlife Bible. 

Start and end any decision with GOD. In His peace we have peace, not the peace that the world offers through the accumulation of money and things, but His peace that comes from CHRIST within. 

He will provide all of our needs and a few of our wants…because He cares for us!

The Greek word used here, eirēnē, conveys a range of meanings, including well-being, prosperity, freedom from anxiety, safety from harm, and deliverance from enemies.

Paul envisions God’s peace as a soldier who protects the hearts and minds of believers from anxiety, fear, and doubt. Faith life Bible.

Philippians 4:5–7 (NKJV)
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.


Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
