Peace

February 28, 2023

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬ ‭ESV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

No matter how much we try to avoid it, trouble will spring up, pop up and find us seemingly out of nowhere. Trouble can cause us to become panicked and anxious about how or when we will get out of the trouble we now find ourselves in. It is in the midst of trouble and trials that we will find our peace in God. Just like God has overcome the world, He will overcome all the challenges you face in your life. As you refocus, rebuild, and rejoice have the peace that only comes from God and watch Him work it all out for you. The Scripture reminds us, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. I encourage you today to seek The Lord for your peace. You will have trials and tribulations, but through it all The Lord will give you peace. When the storms of life are raging, do not panic or worry because The Lord will give you peace. No matter what it is that I am facing in my life I know that I have all my peace in The Lord who I will continue to hold on to. Since I know all my peace is in The Lord, I have no doubt, “It’s My Year To Get My Thing From My God!

Prayer:

Lord thank you for giving me peace. Thank you for being my peace in the time of storms, trials, and tribulations. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
