We as believers must understand that the peace of God is much greater than the human mind can understand.  This is the kind of peace that is capable of guarding our hearts and minds and keeping us controlled and patrolled by God's garrison of peace.  John 16:33, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.  In the world ye shall have tribulation:  but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

The Bible is very clear in its teachings concerning peace.  The Word portrays God as a Father of love and peace for His children. Jesus the Son is pictured as the supreme sacrifice for man's peace.  In Ephesians 2:14 the writer says that "he is our peace."

I am thrilled to know that I do not have to depend upon my good works or the strength of my flesh to give me peace.  We must realize that Jesus is our peace, and as we "abide in Him" we will naturally be filled with His peace. John 15:1 says that Jesus is the true vine and that believers are the branches (limbs or shoots). We receive our nourishment (life) from the vine.  As we abide in the vine, we get our prayers answered and continually bear fruit.
