The Peace You Already Have

Oct 11, 2026  •  The Rev. Billy Cerveny

Months of panic attacks as a young musician in Nashville once turned Philippians 4 into a formula that kept failing Rev. Cerveny. Paul, writing from prison, offers no incantation: to rejoice in the Lord is to locate joy in God, and to think on what is true is to weigh God's truth alongside honest feelings rather than suppress them. The peace of God is not manufactured but given, a guard set over those God already holds.
