Peace

 

     What causes fear to rise up within you? When you feel displeasure from another? Fear from a news event or a diagnosis? Fear and worry over a loved one? The world is full of fear, as we yearn for peace.

     The only true peace is the peace within our souls. It returns to us again and again as He fills us with His peace through difficult times and times of overwhelming fear.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petitions with thanksgiving, make your needs known to God, and the peace of God which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

     I passed along the anxiety gene to our oldest daughter. The above are our go-to verses reminding us of what we have and the One to whom we go. We can unload it all to Him and He will bring us back to peace. The devil roams around waiting to pounce. He knows the weaknesses in our minds and hearts. Don’t allow him control. Be anxious for nothing. Trust in God. Trust in Jesus.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly. John 10:10

     The abundant life away from fear awaits. Thank Him in advance for removing your fear. I pray for you to find peace today.

Jesus,

We need You and we yearn for Your peace. When we are out of sorts, bring us back to You. You take our burdens and bring balance and peace. We look to you.

Amen
