Following the invitation to pray, Paul describes God's peace as a guard for hearts and minds. This is an assurance of God's care, not a demand to stop feeling distress instantly.
A short prayer
God, hold my heart and mind in your care. Amen.
Put it into practice
Return gently to prayer when a recurring worry appears.
Take a moment to reflect: what might this look like in your life today?
