[Note: This "nearness" could refer to Christ's second coming or to His nearness to His people in a spiritual sense]. 6 Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and [special] petition, along with thanksgivings, you should make your requests known to God. 7 And [when you do], the peace from God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and thoughts [from anxiety] in [fellowship with] Christ Jesus.
