Sometimes finding peace in the midst of the troubles life may bring can seem impossible. But finding peace is a sacrifice of trust. When circumstances in your life tempt you to panic, feel terrified, become a nervous wreck, or be filled with dread, you can either choose to give into those feelings or trust God.Doing this means you are willing to present yourself wholly to Him, to be filled with His peace. You can either trust your Almighty God or give into the emotions of the flesh. You must trust that he is in control, that he will provide, or solve your problems.
"God will meet all of your needs according to his riches in Jesus Christ." -Philippians 4:19
Choosing to trust God, making this sacrifice of trust -- causes you to experience His peace, even in the midst of tremendous chaos.
"God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all time, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." -2 Cor. 9:8
In this verse the Lord wants you to know he's got your back and will bring peace in the storm. He wants success and happiness for your life.
Willy always tells me that God won't keep you from the hard times but he will bring you through them.
The key to peace, is not the absence of conflict -- it's the presence of God no matter what the conflict. His peace is only a prayer away, give your struggles to him.
Here's some things the Bible tell us about finding Peace in God:
Job 22:21-23 (MSG)
Psalm 34:13-15
John 16:33
Romans 5:1-9
2 Timothy 2:22
What do you do to find peace in times of struggle?
