The Path to Peace

 

Psalm 29:11 - The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. 

Wherever you are in life, you can experience God’s peace deep within your soul. Such tranquility comes when you acknowledge your trust in the Lord and release control of your situation to Him. This does not mean you avoid responsibility; it means you acknowledge that you need the Lord to help and guide you.

How do you do so? There are four essentials to experiencing God’s peace. First, express your total dependence on the Lord. Acknowledging God as your strength and refuge shifts your focus from your finite abilities to His infinite power. Second, pray. Prayer and meditation on God’s Word are essential to experiencing true peace because they are the key to having confidence in Christ – your Prince of Peace. Third, speak out and demonstrate faith. Hold on to the fact the Lord has promised never to leave or forsake you and can get you through anything you face. Finally, focus on God. Because certainly, He will give you the wisdom, strength, and the peace you need to withstand whatever happens.

Friend, the Lord is glad to give you His peace. Therefore, stop worrying, give Him your concerns, and trust Him to lead you.
