Think of things that are good. Be in charge of your thoughts. Focus your mind on things of God. Don't let the world flood your mind with fear and worry of the evil happening daily. If you want to have the peace God has given you, you need to train your mind to focus on hope and light. We need to acknowledge the faults of the world, but that doesn't mean we need to dwell on them. God is our refuge, he is our strength, our hope, and our peace. If we fix our thoughts, heart, and actions on him, we can truly receive his peace that surpasses all understanding.
Prayer:
Lord, help us to fix our gaze on you and not be distracted by things of this world. Flood our minds with good and righteous thoughts. Thoughts that bring peace and not fear. Help us to not allow the fear and evil to overcome us but to be overflowing with your peace. We love you Lord and we thank you for your amazing peace, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
Scripture:
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:8-9 ESV
