Where does peace come from?
Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Where does peace come from?
Here’s what Jocelyne wrote to me a while ago: “I was in the middle of a storm and was completely panicked about family problems. I prayed to God and clung to Him with all my might but just couldn’t find peace. I couldn’t understand what was happening to me. Then, one morning, reading ‘A Miracle Every Day,’ the message penetrated my heart: I was not alone. God saw me. He knew everything that was happening to me; He was there. I understood that I had to lean on Him, let Him act, and place my burden at His feet. And then, the peace that I knew before came rushing back to me all at once. It just clicked, and I knew that everything was going to work out.”
The Bible says, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” (see Philippians 4:6-7, NLT)
Up to this point, what has your worry, your anxiety, produced? What have its results been, in addition to stealing your peace?
- Has worry taken your trust, building walls between you and your loved ones?
- Has it influenced your decisions, to the point of putting you into a situation you regret?
- Has it had an impact on your health?
- Has it ever yielded any positive results?
I have good news for you: God is your peace! (see the Bible, Ephesians 2:14)
Peace isn’t just something God gives… He IS peace. He IS the God of peace. Jesus told us, “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.” (the Bible, John 14:27)
Today, believe and hold on to it: Peace comes from the God of peace. He Himself is the Prince of Peace.
Let’s rejoice together as we listen to the lyrics of this song, “Prince of Peace” by Hillsong United.
Like Jocelyne, receive His peace today!
Praise the Lord I’m so grateful and thankful for these emails on Philippians. It has truly helped me building my faith in God. God is so good to me. He uses them emails to speak to my heart. Thank you so much brother Eric for allowing the Holly Spirit to lead and guide you. May you feel Jesus love every day of the year May God shower you with His abundance of blessings.
I have my wonderful recurring dream when I ask for peace from our God. This dream I have whenever I feel like I just cannot handle any more and that I am about to break. I always pray that HE makes sure that dream enters my sleep when I am feeling so broken and when it does it feels me with such peace and love from HIM that I cannot feel anything less but joy and realize it’ll be ok. HE has not let me down. I love my God. HE feels my heart and soul! May God bless you all!
Amen Lord Jesus Lord Amen
