Are you filled with peace or worry and fear? If we aren't careful, we can very easily become overwhelmed with the cares of this life. We often times worry about things that God has already promised he will take care of. Unfortunately, when we don't know exactly how a problem will be solved or how we will make something happen, we can't help but worry. But that is where we have to trust God, trust his timing and his plan. When we are filled with worry, oftentimes, it is because we are focusing on the problem and the what ifs, not the waymaker. We need to keep our thoughts on God and his promises, so he can fill us with his perfect peace. When worry comes up we need to fight it with the truth, the word of God. Don't dwell on the problem, dwell on the promises and be filled with peace.
Prayer:
Lord we thank you for your many blessings. We thank you that you are always making a way and we can put all our trust in you. Give us the strength we need to overcome our worries and fears. Help us to have the courage to surrender our worries to you and not try to handle them in our own strength. Fill us with your perfect peace Lord and keep our hearts filled with your love, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
Scripture:
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
Isaiah 26:3 ESV
