Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between peace and calm in the Bible?+
In the Bible, peace is often associated with spiritual well-being (Jeremiah 30:10), while calm, or quietness of the heart, is the result of trusting God amidst uncertainty (Psalm 119:165). May both be yours.
Can I still experience the peace of God even in difficult seasons?+
Yes. As believers, the peace of God is available to us always through prayer, and faith. It may need to be sought out like a treasure, hidden for a season, waiting for the storm to pass.
How can I apply Philippians 4:6-7 to my prayer life when things seem so unclear?+
In those moments of uncertainty, ask, 'Lord, what are the things You want me to think about, and what things should I not think about?' This will help you focus on God's will and His promise of peace.
