We often battle with situations that do not seem surmountable. The trauma from the loss of a loved one, failed relationships and marriages, the collapse of a business, damages in a natural disaster, the list goes on and on.
These and more steal our peace. Worry becomes the order of the day. Hope is lost and our situations to us seem bigger than anything ever.
In these situations, we need the peace that only God can provide. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
This peace is what we need to reassure us that God is in control. Without this peace we ourselves cannot comfort others who need comfort. We have to tell the storm how big our God is. We should always remember that with Jesus, we will always smile at the storm.
He is bigger than the storms we face. In all situations He is waiting for us to call out to him to calm the storms. Jesus completely calms the situations that steal our peace. Completely silents the raging seas to bring us total calm.
He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. (Mark 4:39)
Release the Peace of God by believing and putting your trust in the God who can calm these storms. Total reliance on God in life brings us peace that no one can fathom.
You rule over the surging sea;
when its waves mount up, you still them.
(Psalm 89:9)
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands. Master of the Universe, My eyes are fixed on you. Quiet down all storms that steal my peace.
And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.
Amen!
