A Formula for Peace
Maintain Unity +
One cannot experience Pace when there is division. Showing Christian charity and gratitude to one another promotes peace and unity in the body of Christ.
Rejoice +
We don't wait on everything to be perfect to rejoice in knowing Christ. Our rejoicing is in the Lord, not in our circumstances. Regardless of what is going on in our lives, Jesus Christ is still the King of kings and the Lord of lords and our Savior and He is still worthy to be praised, so Let Us Praise Him Continually!
Be Calm and Patient +
if our hearts are patient and our spirits are calm then we are in a condition called moderation. we can have this peace in our hearts because we know that the Lord is at hand. He is not at hand for us the way He was for those that were in the first century church before Christ's return to establish his kingdom, but He is still at hand for us.
He lives within his saints by His Holy Spirit and we can speak to the Father at any moment and He hears us.
Replace Worry with Prayer +
Worry produces such a negative energy. It drains us Prayer produces a positive energy. It fills us. If we would use the time that we spend in worry instead in prayer, we would experience peace.
= Peace!
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

[1] Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
[2] I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
[3] And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
[4] Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
[5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
[6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
[7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
[8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
[9] Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
[10] But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
[11] Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
[12] I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

[20] Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
[21] Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
