What brings you peace?
Having peace comes down to a few things I put my trust in.
Romans 8:28 states, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
Because of God’s faithfulness in the past I know I can trust Him in any difficult situation now and in the future.
When times are tough I know I can stand on a few promises God has for my peace.
- Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.”
- Ephesians 1:11 – “I Him we were chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will.”
Following God and obeying Him is knowing I can be in keeping with myself at peace.
When life is calm it’s easy to become complacent, but it should be a time for preparing for trials. Peace is often a training ground.
In times of trials. Obeying God requires courage and discernment.
Trusting in God’s sovereignty, holding on to righteousness, praying is how I get through chaotic times with peace.
Here are a few scriptures I stand on when I’m in a trial:
From Pity to Praise
