The freedom to feel serene

But you, be sober in everything, endure the sufferings, accomplish the task of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry well. 2 Timothy 4.5

We were born to be free ; freedom is a gift from God. The question is : are you ready to go through all the hardships to be free or do you want to stay in chains all your life ?

If you want to be free, the most important thing is to start doing what God wants you to do. One step at a time and you will be the winners. In 2 Timothy 4:5, Paul said to Timothy : "But you, be sober in everything, endure suffering, perform the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry well."

"You will overcome evil and anger by praying for those who are suffering or who have abused you."

This is good advice for all of us. Instead of being ruled by our emotions when confronted with problems, we need to calm down and focus on what God has called us to do. If you are unhappy with something, instead of letting yourself be destroyed, decide to turn it into something positive. You will overcome evil and anger by praying for those who are suffering or who have abused you. Counter your selfishness by doing something good for someone else.

Whenever the enemy tries to arouse your emotions, calm down and do what God has called you to do !

A prayer for today

Holy Spirit, help me to keep my calm, to stay cool and serene so that I can be free to do what God has called me to do.
