Be peaceful before God
Searching the Scriptures
Stop, and know that I am God ! I rule over the nations, I rule over the earth. Psalm 46.11 King James Version
One of the most important things we can do today is learn to be peaceful.
I believe that one of the main reasons we are exhausted and stressed is that we don't know how to be calm.
We don't really know God and we don't recognize him. And yet it is only by spending time getting to know him that we can learn to recognize his soft, calm voice that guides our steps.
We must learn to be peaceful inside and to remain in this state of calm so that we can always hear the voice of God.
A lot of people today are running from one thing to another. Because their mind doesn't know how to calm down, they don't know how to calm their heart.
On the other hand, if we slow down for a few moments to calm our mind so that we can hear His recommendations, we can live in a peaceful and joyful way, being free from all exhaustion and overwork - it is not that complicated as long as we stay. calm before God.
Listen to the voice of God
Let's take the time to listen to what God means. Be peaceful, you are in the arms of your Father.
Praying is easy. Talk to God as you would your closest friend. God loves you and he can hear everything. Here is an example prayer : "Lord, I recognize that you alone are God. I know that being peaceful in front of you is important, so show me how to stay grounded and calm inside, so that I can clearly hear your voice."
Praise God
To praise God is to show him our gratitude. Today, what are your subjects of recognition ? Take a moment to thank the Lord.
Act today
Now dig deeper into what you have received. What can you do to apply what God has told you ? Write down the concrete actions you can take.
Honor the Lord
Our route for the day ends. Let us pray together to honor our God.
"Thank you for your soothing presence Lord. Yours be the kingdom, the power and the glory, amen !"
