Rejoice in the Lord always.
I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your gentleness be evident to all.
The Lord is near.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
(Philippians 4:4-8)

What an awesome passage!

I have been approached by people in a few ocassions and asked "how can Christians seem so at peace, even in the midst of hard times?"

The truth, is that we don't and can't do it on our own, it is Christ who lives in us that allows to look through the trials in our lives and gives peace and comfort in our heart.

REJOICE...I WILL SAY IT AGAIN: REJOICE!!
