PEACE OF GOD

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. [2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NIV)]

Father, let us take a break from the stress of every day and rest in your presence. We give you our worries and ask that you open our eyes to see your truth, our minds to understand your plan, and our hearts to feel your peace.

DON’T WORRY; BE HAPPY

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things [Luke 12:25-26 (NLT)]

Lord, help us give up the false belief that we’re the ones in control of tomorrow and that we’re the only ones who can solve its problems. Remind us of your love and that your ways are infinitely higher and better than ours so that we will truly trust that the future is safely in your loving (and capable) hands.

GOD-POWERED PEOPLE

God can do anything, you know – far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us! [Ephesians 3:20 (MSG)]

How easy it is to limit ourselves by thinking “I can’t” when, with God’s power, we can! We act as if we are on a bicycle, limited by our own strength and endurance when, instead, we’re in a highly-tuned God-powered race car, capable of winning the Indy 500!

THE RIGHT PATH

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. [Psalm 25:4-5 (NLT)]

With God leading us, we will never be lost or alone. He may not lead us to where we want to be and we may not arrive when we want to arrive, but we can be confident that He will lead us to where we belong and we will arrive at the right time!

Have a good day and trust where He leads you this week.
