"And THE PEACE OF GOD, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ." (Phil. 4:7)
This peace is far beyond anything mankind can understand. You can never produce this kind of peace on your own. Even when you experience it, you can not explain the joy you feel during a time of sorrow and pain. This peace comes only when you put your COMPLETE trust in God. Knowing He is the One who has the answer to your situation.
Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27)
I experienced this peace during a time of great sorrow. It was one of those times in my life that "I" didn't have an answer. The "peace of God" protected my thoughts from dwelling on the way the world sees death. I found myself rejoicing and praising God -- not grieving. You can find this same peace when you willingly pray "not my will, but thine be done".
