Philippians 4:5-7

I looked more into the meaning of the words: 
By 
PRAYER 
(literally, to interact with the Lord by switching human wishes (ideas) for His wishes as He imparts faith ("divine persuasion") 
and
SUPPLICATION 
(deep heart-felt need) 
(and oh haven't we prayed those prayers!) 
WITH THANKSGIVING 
(eucharistia- the giving of thanks for God's grace) 
let your requests be known to God. 
AND THE PEACE OF GOD
 - His very own peace, 
He-Himself IS our peace- 
WHICH SURPASS ALL UNDERSTANDING
WILL GUARD
(keep watch- like a military sentinel; (figuratively) to actively display whatever defensive and offensive means are necessary to guard) 
our HEARTS and MINDS IN Christ Jesus! 
Peace, Himself, gives us Himself, Peace- 
and keeps watch over our hearts and minds.
Oh...what a Great Shepherd!
