Primary Text

“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9v6 (KJV)

While we come to have peace with God because of what Jesus did for us, and we should follow peace with all men, God will also have us have peace within ourselves. It can become easy to go through life living in a state of continuous fear, trepidation, anxiety, and worry. But God wants us to be at peace. He tells us: “Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4v6-7, AMP). To move from fear to peace, pray, make your petitions known to God and give thanks; talk to God about it – no matter how “petty” it might be looking in your eyes. Don’t keep fretting and trying to find the “me” way to solve it, pray about that situation and let Him show you the best way to go about handling your situation. Be determined to live a life of peace in and through God knowing that Jesus has paid the price for you and you are at peace with and can always pray to God.

“Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]“. John 14v27 (AMP)

Prayer

Why don’t you talk the situation over with the Lord…
