Are You Losing Your Peace?

 

My heart is not proud, Lord,my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother;like a weaned child I am content.Psalm 131:1-2 NIV Bible Gateway

Have you involved yourself in a matter where you didn’t need to stick your nose in it in the first place and either you just totally lost peace or a little voice told you to stop it?

If you do you will lose peace you will find it is better to trust God and share your concerns and your heart with Him. Talk to Him about how you are feeling and what is on your mind and heart.

The next thing to do is to take note of areas you are struggling with trust and talk to God. Ask for His help and guidance.

PRAYER: Father I know when I lean in to you and keep my mind focused on you my days go much better. In Jesus’ name. Amen

Peace On Earth. Really?

 

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.John 14:27

Peace on earth good will to men you hear mostly this time of year. Sure it would be great to have everyone singing Kum by Ya but the Bible says there will be wars. 

Peace can’t occur without God’s word first and foremost and morality. Morality can’t be achieved apart from knowing God. So you see the dilemma. 

A savior, Jesus, was born. He came to save the world but many rejected him then and still do now. You can have an inner peace even when chaos is all around you by staying in the word of God, keeping the news off, and prayer. Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with you by starting each day with the right frame of mind regardless of what faces you. 

PRAYER: Lord help me be an instrument of peace in the world around me in my little corner of influence. Help me plant seeds of hope, joy, and gladness and not entertain despair or fear. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
