Rejoicing in the middle of a storm doesn’t come naturally — but Paul reminds us that through prayer, gratitude, and trust, we can experience God’s peace even when life feels chaotic.
Paul wrote Philippians from prison — and yet his message was joy. He encouraged the church in Philippi to rejoice, not because their circumstances were easy, but because “the Lord is near.”
If Paul could find joy while chained to a guard, we can learn to do the same when life feels heavy.
