What does it take to have peace when you’re on your last straw and feel like you can’t take it anymore? The answer… crying out to God and being honest with Him. Asking God to do what only He can do so you can keep going. God will give you unexplainable peace in moments you know beyond a shadow of a doubt, you would not have had otherwise!
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
This passage of scripture tells us three things:
-
- Don’t be worried, disturbed, agitated, tense, worked up, etc.
- Thank God in prayer with an attitude of gratitude first.
If we do the above two steps, God will guard our mind and hearts with a peace that surpasses all understanding.
Do you have a child or loved one going through unimaginably difficult times? Do you need God’s strength and peace to bear it? I’ve got good news, He will give you strength and peace! All you have to do is ask. Peace and strength will overflow in times it seems absolutely impossible!
I encourage you to cast your cares on God and ask for what you need. Ask and you shall receive if it is according to His will. He will give you what you need at just the right time.
A Prayer For You
Thank You Lord for being such a good Father. Thank You for giving us what we need at just the right time. I pray that You would bring peace, strength, comfort, and joy to those who need it right now. Thank You Lord for meeting our needs. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
