The verse that this reminds me of is Phillipians 4:7, And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. It's all about the attitude of your heart. I'm not saying it's easy and that I have or will always do this, but it's something I stive for daily!
