Adoration, supplication, appreciation. These are the elements of prayer that make-for our peace. It's one thing -a great thing- to have peace w-God. It's another thing to-experience the peace of God which passes understanding - forms a guard, a garrison-around our heart -the way we feel- - our mind -the way we think-, through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4-1-7--Peace Through Prayer--Ch 1- the single mind. Ch 2- the submissive mind. Ch 3- the spiritual mind. Ch 4- The-secure mind.

Ch 1 revolved around the -single- mind. Ch 2, the -submitted- mind, - Ch 3 Paul-emphasizes the -spiritual- mind.

Paul has developed the principle, he's discussed the power, now he dives intopractical. The principle- Let the same self-sacrificing mindset that was in Christ Jesus bealso in you. The power- For it is God who works in you both to will - to do for His goodpleasure. But how does that look in the practical- I love the way the text takes off todaybecause it doesn't get a whole lot more -brass tacks- than this.

Here in Philippians Ch 2, Paul has just demonstrated the greatest Example evergiven in the Person of Christ Jesus pertaining to the submissive mind. That self-sacrificingmindset that places the interests-well-being of others above my own.
