What is
peace of mind? I asked my daughters what
peace of mind means to them. Here is what they shared with me:
“Peace of
mind is to know that I have done everything in my ability and now I rest it in
God’s hands.”
“Peace of
mind is to know that whatever God is up to, I have the faith that it is for my
good and His glory.”
“Peace of
mind is being confident that no matter what the outcome may be, I am at peace
because I know that God is in control.”
“Imagine never being “anxious
about anything”! It seems like an impossibility – we all have worries on the job,
in our homes, at school. But Paul’s advice is to turn our worries into prayers.
Do you want to worry less? Then pray more! Whenever you start to worry stop and
pray. True peace is not found in positive
thinking, in the absence of conflict, or in good feelings. It comes from
knowing that God is in control!” Commentary
“With God we can know perfect peace
even in turmoil. When we are devoted to Him, our whole attitude is steady and
stable. Supported by God’s unchanging love and mighty power, we are not shaken
by the surrounding chaos. Do you want peace? Keep your thoughts on and your trust
in God...” Commentary
“You will keep in
perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Isaiah 26:3
FATHER, thank you for
reminding us that you are in absolute control! What peace that gives your
children to know that we can rest in your loving care and in your absolute sovereignty.
Thank you for the gift of peace that only You can give. In Jesus’ Name Amen
