A Blessing for Peace to Guard Your Heart

With Apostle Paul’s

Words to the Philippians,

I bless you that

The Unreasonable,

Inexplicable

Peace

Of God

“Will guard your heart

And mind

In Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:7)

How odd.

How refreshing:

What you can’t figure out

Is what helps you sort it all out.

It’s what can’t be comprehended—

“The peace of God,

Which surpasses all understanding”—

That protects you best.

God’s incomprehensible peace

Stands watch

And keeps the heart from despair

In the deeps

And keeps the mind from deception

In the darkness.

May you stay full of God’s peace,

Child of God,

Stay full,

So your heart and your mind

Will stay safe

In Christ Jesus.
