God Gives us Peace

-

We all go through life with things that may cause us to worry and to be stressed out. There are things that is beyond our control, but we find ourselves trying to figure it out on our own. 

The only thing that will make us feel better and get us through is having peace in our lives. 

God is the only one who can give us peace when we find ourselves in this state. 


“ Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.”  

2 Thessalonians 3:16


Having the peace of God in your life is a wonderful feeling. The scripture states that “the Lord of peace himself will give you peace by all means”. 

What does that mean for us as children of God? 

Well, it means that because we are his children, the Lord knows all and no matter how me may feel, he will give us peace for our lives.  

Because he is the Lord of peace, he will give us that peace that helps us throughout our lives. 

Having that peace from God is a calm feeling that we cannot explain it. It is just wonderful. 

All we have to do is ask God.


"And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Luke 11"9 &10


This scripture can apply to so many areas of our lives.  When we are in a need for our lives from God, all we have to do is go to him and let him know what we need. 

We do not have a problem asking for material things in our lives, but when it comes to something that we may feel is trivial as peace, we don't ask.

We try to find a way to fix it ourselves.  Most of the time, trying to fix it ourselves causes more problems.


But if we go to God and say "God I have tried everything and I need peace in my life", watch how he works in our lives. 


When I started writing this blog, I was in need of peace myself. I was in a bad mental place because I was upset about someone's actions I could not control. But I went to God in prayer knowing I could not change the situation, but I wanted peace within myself so I did not have to feel like it was all on me. 


He did just that! He gave me peace that I still can't explain, but I am able now to go on without feeling down or stressed, or feeling like I am hurt. 



"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:7


We often find ourselves stressed out and feel like our minds are going 100 miles per minute. When you find yourself like that, stop and pray and ask God to give you peace about the situation and learn how to give it to God. 


God will help us with having peace. It will help us understand that God will work everything in our lives out.


God bless you.

New Meaning of my Wedding Vows.

May 17, 2007 was my wedding day. And though parts of it were not a happy time, when I saw my husband standing at the alter waiting on me on that Thursday night, I was so happy. I was starting my life with this person that I dated for three years.   I was excited to start my journey as his wife, but I had no clue what I was getting my self into.   When I got married, I had this illusion of something I say in the movies. I thought it was going to be all fun and games. We were going to love each other, and we were going to have a happy life and we were not going to have to go through anything.     But that is a different topic for another time.  When we got married, we had to say our wedding vows in front of everyone in the church.     We stood and we said those vows proudly. In front of every one that was there and God, we said those vows.    But who take their wedding vows seriously?    For me, August 2023 those vows took o...

Just get Started

  Just get started   I was talking to my good friend, I call him big bro, and we were talking about exercising.  He was telling me that he walks so many miles a day to get his exercise and I told him I needed to be like him. He said “ the key is to just get started”. I like that, it make since.  But why did God show me somthing in those few words. We often say that we want to do a work for God. But in the same breath, we make every excuse we can think of as to why we have not done it or even started the task that God has given us.  Just like us wanting to do something meaningful in our lives and we do it, we have to have that same attitude toward our walk with God.  2 Corinthians 5:7 : "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (KJV) We may not know where God is leading us. He may be taking us to a place where it is new territory for us. But if we just get up and START, who knows what blessing he has in store for us.  God bless.

A testimony about Giving God Praise while going Through.

This is not one of my normal blogs. This is more of a testimonial.    See, over the past 8 months, my husband has been going through a few battles of his own.  ( I mentioned it in my last blog but I did not go into depth about it)  On August 25, 2023, my husband and my oldest son was hit head on by a drunk driver. Praise God they both made it out alive, but my husband’s left leg was injured.  My son just had a few scrapes and bruises, but he is ok.    So, I have watched my husband go through this season in his life.  I saw him laying on a hospital bed with his leg bleeding bad, and I saw him being whisked away into emergency surgery.    I saw him spend 50 days in the hospital, all the while thanking God and praising him for everything he was going through.    Even now, as I write this, he is back home from the hospital recovering from an above knee amputation of his left leg.  But in spite of everything, from the mont...
