May Christ’s Peace Be with You Always

O how easy it is for this world’s trouble to ensnare us. We would be as a ship without a rudder, drifting from place to place at sea. Without hope, anxiety reigns. Yet with Jesus, we have true peace, brimful and running over.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

(Philippians 4:6-7)

Place your trust in God, and He will give you rest from this world’s trouble. No longer will we need to chase after the wind of activity that surrounds our lives. He will fill us with hope, which will settle our minds and our hearts. He will give us lasting peace.

We can do all things through Jesus. He gave Himself up so that we might live. What life is it if we seek to honor Him by striving after that which dishonors Him? True repentance is turning from sin and doing what He taught. Only then will we have a quieted mind.

Seek God’s will and look to Him for relief. He will not fail us. His trouble weighs less than what the world holds. Give ear to His voice and lift your eyes to the Lord, for He is good. May Christ’s peace be with you always.

  1. Whenever I feel like I am “speeding up” He is there to slow me back down. Calms all those storms which sometimes brew inside…instead of fall from the skies.

  2. You know what I find sad, too many of the youth of today haven’t found God and haven’t gone looking for him they have just shut their eyes and put on noise blocking headphones and wander around like lost sheep

  3. Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
    Proverbs 14:22

    And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
    Roman 8:28
