“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Peace with God - related to repentance

Peace with Others - Be a peacemaker

Peace with myself - anxiety and worrying

 Being a Peacemaker 
"But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this 
house.’" (Luke 10:5). 
One of the most prominent signs of successful service is 
granting peace to those served. Jesus Christ has granted it 
to His disciples as a distinct, unequalled blessing "Peace 
I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world 
gives do I give to you" (John 14:27). 
Therefore, it behooves God's servants to be searchers, 
pursuers and establishers of that peace in themselves and 
among people. The establishment of peace is an 
important sign of a spiritually successful service. "Peace 
be with you" is the prayer repeated several times during 
the Divine Liturgy and is what the servant of God grants 
his congregation through the Holy Spirit. It is just 
illogical for such servant to claim or imagine being a 
servant of the King of Peace while not in peace with 
himself or in strife with anyone of his congregants. St. 
Paul is emphatic about this issue saying, "But if anyone 
seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do 
the churches of God" (1 Corinthians 11:16).
