Find Peace


 

The strongest solutions come from a peaceful mind. And a peaceful mind comes from time with God. Only He can instill peace within us that isn’t transient, but transcendent. Peace isn’t the absence of the fray fraught with fret. Rather, it becomes increasingly possible to identify the presence of peace when the tempest rages most. So now is the perfect time to assess of yourself, are you experiencing peace? Peace isn't the absence of the storm, it is living my life consciously in the presence of the Lord.

"The strongest solutions come from a peaceful mind."


Take a moment to ask your heart if the choices you made yesterday created a peaceful refuge that facilitated your mind being able to engage in discovering potential solutions or was your mind suffocated by a tsunami of agitations? If you experienced the latter, can I encourage you to ask God to illuminate the factors which contributed to your personal disturbance and then preferably eliminate or at the least manage your exposure to those factors today. What must go and how are you going to make that happen? You need peace; body, mind, and soul. Your community needs solutions you are able to identify from your place of peace. Please find it, guard, and diligently protect it today. At. All. Cost.

Lord, I pray for the safety and PEACE of our nation and of our world this morning; in my family, my community, my nation, and my world. Let Your peace abound in me. Let it radiate into all of the spaces I occupy today. May You then ripple into the hearts and minds of others and allow them to in turn transmit frequencies of peace. 

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
