Sharing some thoughts about His peace with you has been on my heart for a few weeks, particularly with all that’s going on in the world thesse days.
If you are feeling anxious, fearful or stressed, I hope you will be encouraged by this good, good news!
You get to choose: No Jesus — No peace, OR, Know Jesus, Know Peace!
How do I/we choose peace?
The 1st step is to ask Jesus to come into your heart, to be your savior and Lord.
The next step is to get to know Him through His Word — and to choose to trust and believe that He is who He says He is, and that His Word is truth.
Then when a fearful or anxious thought comes, you fight that thought with truth the truth. You remind yourself of who He is and that you are His.
Next, read and personalize scriptures, speaking and applying them to yourself. Here are some examples:
Isaiah 9:6, says that Jesus is The Prince of Peace.
John 14:27 TPT says, I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous!
Philippians 4:6 TPT says, Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life,
1 Peter 5:7 TPT says, Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you.
One of my favorite scriptures is found in Isaiah 48. It reminds me of who He is, and that is teaching me and leading me.
This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow.
Isaiah 48:17 NLT
My prayer for you is found in Romans 15:13 TPT, It says, Now may God, the fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope!
Be encouraged dear one. Oh how He loves you and me!
