The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace. Psalms 29:11 KJV
There is a very real battle in the heavenlies - for our salvation! a war of love that will be fought on the fragile grounds of our heart. Will you accept God’s words or the worlds? It’s our choice. Will you be ruled by God’s love or by the love of some other futile thing?
Colossians 3:2 NIV Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Peace comes when we start looking for assurance from our Heavenly Father. When we focus on the things of the world, that cause our thoughts to run amok with dread and life draining scenarios - the peace of Christ has no room to exist.
My prayer for us all is that we will start taking all those roaming enemy thoughts captive, Satan no longer has any influence over you, and you are operating within the peace offered by Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:5 TPT We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to Jesus Christ.
Take time and align your mind to scripture: Don't allow the enemy take over your mind and life, just Focus on God.
God's plan will always override the enemy's plot. Don't fret. Don't be dismayed. God fights for you. He fights for me! Hallelujah! This battle is already won! The Prince of Peace is here to stay!
Wow, Lord we pray for guidance, and trust that You will provide peace in a world full of chaos.
Psalms 46:10 TPT Surrender your anxiety. Be still and realize that I am God. I am God above all the nations, and I am exalted throughout the whole earth.
The key is remembering that God loves us too much to answer our prayers at any other time than the RIGHT time and in any other way than the right way.
He knows Our needs and our wants — However, let Him use His perfect wisdom, His perfect timing, and His perfect knowledge of who He created us to be to fulfill His plan for this journey called life. He longs give us a peace that will never die nor fade, a perfect peace with Jesus that changes everything.
The bottom line is, we need to stop defining peace and comfort by our own standard, and we need to start defining it according to God’s standard.
Jeremiah 29:11 CSB For I know the plans I have for you— this is the Lord’s declaration — plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
We panic. God stays true during life’s toughest moments. We wonder. God knows the beginning to the end. We pray. God answers with grace and wisdom. Take note of this: Season’s change, but His peace remains.
