Philippians 4:7

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

It's so easy to seek peace and escape in things of this world. We want instant satisfaction and gratification. When things don't go well at work, in our families, or in everyday life, we turn to alcohol, TV, drugs, food, lustful ventures, spending money, breaking the law...ANYTHING - just to get away from it.

The only thing any of us need is the peace of God. We have everything we need in Jesus Christ. If you need peace, you won't find it in the world. Don't be fooled by the temporary relief that comes from trusting the world...in the end it's deadly.
