The Peace Of God

At one time or another we struggle with peace of mind. During  my working years there was always at least one person troubling the waters for everyone. If it didn’t eat me up it nearly drove me crazy.

I read in a book that people or problems can only bother you if you let them, so, I talked to myself when the waters stirred. “Only if I let it. . .  only if I let it.” It worked for awhile but I found a better way. The following promise is one to lean on, to hold on to ---- every time. All the time.  

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

When we  totally surrender to Jesus, He gives us peace of mind in troubled waters. It’s the peace of God that overwhelms our worries and helps us to rest in His will even when we can’t see what lies ahead.
