Wanting Solace, Wanting Peace?

And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful.
Colossians 3:15 HCSB

Isaiah tells us:

You will keep the mind that is dependent on You in perfect peace, for it is trusting in You.
Isaiah 26:3 HCSB

Paul tells us:

Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6‭-‬7 HCSB

The criteria for peace are: keeping our minds on Him; trusting Him and not ourselves; thanksgiving.

Through all life's storms we must look ahead to Him and trust Him, no matter what is happening, with thankful hearts.

Fear and worry are the enemies tools. They are like going into a room where the TV is on and trying to talk not distracted. Very hard but not impossible. First we must tune out the noise and focus on Jesus. What is He saying? Where is He going? Follow Him!

When in storms we can become agitated. Start praising and thanking Him. It is hard to grumble and praise at the same time.

How can good come from a disaster? Allow God to show you! Trust Him!
