La paz de Dios que supera a todo pensamiento guardará sus corazones y sus facultades mentales mediante Cristo Jesús (Fili. 4:7).
El apóstol Pablo afrontó un padecimiento cuya naturaleza desconocemos y que le causaba gran angustia. Pablo hizo todo lo posible para eliminarlo. Hasta le imploró a Jehová que le ayudara. Después de la tercera vez que oró por ello, Dios le reveló que no iba a quitarle milagrosamente aquella “espina en la carne”. Pablo lo aceptó y se centró por completo en su ministerio (2 Cor. 12:7-10). ¿Quiere decir esto que no sirve de mucho contarle a Jehová nuestras preocupaciones? De ningún modo (Sal. 86:7). De hecho, la Biblia contiene esta exhortación: “No se inquieten por cosa alguna, sino que en todo, por oración y ruego junto con acción de gracias, dense a conocer sus peticiones a Dios” (Fili. 4:6). Aun si Jehová no elimina el problema, contesta nuestras oraciones protegiendo nuestra mente. Por eso, no es raro que, después de mencionarle lo que nos preocupa, nos sintamos más tranquilos y comprendamos mejor los peligros de permitir que nos consuma la inquietud.

The peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.—Phil. 4:7.
The apostle Paul had an affliction that caused him much distress. Whatever its nature, Paul did what he could to remove this affliction, praying to Jehovah for relief. After the third time, God revealed to Paul that the “thorn in the flesh” would not be removed miraculously. Paul accepted this fact and concentrated on serving Jehovah fully. (2 Cor. 12:7-10) This does not mean that we should stop praying to Jehovah about distressing matters. (Ps. 86:7) On the contrary, God’s Word entreats us: “Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God.” (Phil. 4:6) Jehovah may not take away our problem, but he can respond to our prayers by guarding our mental powers. After praying about a matter, we may realize the danger of being consumed by anxieties.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
