The peace of God comes from the God of peace

"Do not worry about anything, but in all things make your needs known to God by prayers and supplications, with thanksgiving, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will keep your hearts and your thoughts in Jesus Christ." Philippians 4.6-7

What are you worried about ? Is it your financial situation ? Your school results ? The health of your children ?

Jesus is your model. Did you see him worry ?

Perhaps you have lost your feet in the face of little things, and perhaps you think that these difficulties are not the responsibility of God, as if he had areas of expertise.

Imagine owning a big house that needs some repairs, but when you do an inventory, you hide from the master of work some parts ... The renovation would not be complete, because even the smallest parts count.

From your heart flows the way you live. If you are worried, you will live in insecurity, never sure of tomorrow. But if your heart is confident in God, it will be manifest in every sphere of your life !

How to keep one's heart from worry ?

By keeping his thoughts fixed on Jesus Christ ! The more we keep this healthy habit of walking with God (by daily reading of the word of God, by prayer, by praise, by fraternal communion, ...), the less we maintain other harmful habits for our soul. We build a knowledge of the one who saved us, and we learn to see our world with his eyes.

Jesus is your model. Did you see him worry ? The peace of God comes from the God of peace !

A prayer for today

Lord, I decide today to give you all my anxieties, big as small, and to live with your freedom and your joy. You are master of everything, and I trust you for my life and for the lives of those who are dear to me. Amen.
