What brings you peace?
Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times, in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
2 Thessalonians 2 : 3 :16, Apostle Paul.
Prayer,studying and meditating on the Word of God has been a vital part of my life. I have found a deep settled peace for the challenges. I’m talking about having a heartfelt one on one conversation as if with a person right there listening, understanding, accepting all I’m pouring out.There are conversations that not about burdens just thankfulness or praying for others.
Do not be anxious about anything but in every situation, prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your request unto God. And the peace of God, which transcend all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4 :6-7. Apostle Paul.
Paul is saying ” Don’t worry about anything instead; pray about everything, one on one conversation ,giving thanks for what God has done before and is about to do. These verses are constant reminders to control our anxiety and trust God the all mighty and powerful who Hear and answer prayers working on His own timing. His purpose and will for our well-being. In the midst of all that’s going on we should not allow our minds to be fearful or mistrust God’s power .
You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You. Trust in the Lord forever, For the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
Isaiah 26:3-4 Prophet Isaiah.
Isaiah is reminding us that perfect lasting peace comes from Jesus Christ alone, the Prince of Peace. When we trust Him we will focus on His word, meditate and pray. Through all the noise ,chaos, corruption, wars,rumors of wars,death and destruction. God is mighty in strength and power,we must focus and trust.
This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate upon it day and night, so that you be careful to do according
Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.”—Philippians 4:6, 7,
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
As a believer I try with the help of the Holy Spirit to relieve myself of my troubles and worries by praying to him. He promises inner peace, which help me with my fears, anxiety, thinking and my emotions. John 14:27, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. God is willing to take my worries and troubles so that I ca experience His promise of inner peace and dwell under his protection. Further in Philippians 4:7-8, we are encourage to: And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
