Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

The Peace That GuardsPhilippians 4:7
No. 177
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:7

This peace doesn't make sense by human logic. It shows up in circumstances where peace should be impossible — and it guards. Like a sentry at the gate of your heart and mind, keeping anxiety from storming in. It's not something you produce. It's something you receive.

Reflect

Is the peace of God guarding your heart right now, or is anxiety on patrol? What would it take to shift that?

Prayer

God, stand guard over my heart and mind. Give me the peace that doesn't make sense. I receive it by faith. Amen.
