Philippians 4:7 - "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Throughout this letter Paul tells us "I have all, and abound"; "my God shall supply"; "Rejoice in the Lord"; "I thank my God"; "I trust in the Lord"; Over and over Paul reminds us that whatever we are going through in life (in Paul's case, he was in prison anticipating his death) don't worry because God is in complete control. He is allowing the circumstances for a reason, and that reason is always to strengthen us. God's peace which passeth all understanding led Paul to say "in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." - Garrett Longest

Proverbs 16:7 - "When a man's ways please the LORD, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." We can, to an extent, determine how peaceful our day will be by being at peace with God through our actions.  - Jason Myers
