Questions preachers ask
What is the peace that guards the heart?
Paul tells the Philippians to pray rather than worry, and “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” (4:6–7). He ends with a call to fill the mind with what is true and lovely.
