When the king announced that all his subjects were to pray only to him, Daniel went to his room, opened his window, and prayed with supplication and thanksgiving to the God of Israel. In perfect peace He spent the night with locked-jawed lions while the king tossed and turned in his bed.
Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Perfect peace involves praying with the heart and a right mind. Wrong thinking leads to wrong feeling and soon the heart and mind are far apart and we become worried. Though they can’t be seen, thoughts are powerful.
• Sow a thought, reap an action
• Sow an action, reap a habit
• Sow a habit, reap a character
• Sow a character, reap a destiny.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Trust In The Lord
It’s easy to make a stressful situation more difficult by following our own understanding. Oh, that we would learn to seek the wisdom of God. He has all the right answers.
Prov.3:5-6 – Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
The more we sit at the Master’s table, feed on His Word, and talk with Him; the easier it is to trust Him.
Are you dealing with a stressful situation? Have you sought the Lord’s wisdom?

Run And Not Be Weary
Just as the grass appears like magic in the spring, turning the brown dreary landscape into a carpet of brilliant green, so the vitality of the believer is renewed from the vast supplies of the Lord.
Isaiah 40:30-31 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
As Dr. Warren W. Weirsbe said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. The greatest heroes of faith are not always those who seem to be soaring; often it is they who are patiently plodding. As we wait on the Lord, He enables us not only to fly higher and run faster, but also to walk longer. Blessed are the plodders, for they eventually arrive at their destination!”

But Now Is Christ Risen
If the Resurrection of Jesus didn’t happen, believers have no hope of Heaven and the Bible isn’t true.
But Jesus was seen after the resurrection by Cephas, the twelve, five hundred brethren at once, James, all the apostles, and the Apostle Paul on the Damascus Road (1 Cor. 15:4-8).
1 Corinthians 15:19-20 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
The good news of the Gospel today is that the victory that Christ won on the cross, through the tomb, and above the clouds, is available for you and me. All who believe on Jesus will have everlasting life.
