Philippians 4:7 And God's peace which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

It is possible to become so upset over something that you cannot eat or sleep. We all want what verse 7 talks about - but we have to practice doing what verse 6 says to get it... Philippians 4:6  Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.

If we do this then 'God's peace will keep guard over your heart and mind. But we can only get these results if we become a "doer of the Word"

Verse 6 tells us not to fret or worry, when we do that we continually think on the wrong side of life.

Verse 8 tells us what to think about:
Philippians 4:8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]. It takes time to change our way of thinking but it's worth the effort and then we will have true peace from the Prince of Peace.
