A True Peace

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7

In this short verse, Paul reminds us that true peace can only come when we are trusting and walking with Christ. In Philippians 4:6 we are reminded that "we are not to be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

As you read this you could be in the middle of a difficult morning. Everything around you is in complete chaos and you may have realized that your schedule for the rest of the day is overwhelming. Just as we are reminded in this verse, there are times in our life that we need to slow down and spend time in prayer. When we do it seems like our day can go from chaotic to calm. Have you given God this day? Have you lifted up your requests and anxious thoughts to God? If not, stop what you are doing and present your requests to God and allow the peace of God to guard your heart.

Father, help me today to surrender everything to you. Help me to not be overwhelmed with the task at hand and to always beware of opportunities to tell others about your crazy love for my life.

Chris
