Can We Find Peace in Anxiety and Chaos?





If times become tough, we can find it difficult to have peace amid the chaos. Let’s face it. When we experience anxiety whether it be due to medical or financial reasons, family problems, or feel worried and stress due to what is going on in our country and the world we need to be able to find peace. God’s words can give us this peace.



Did you know fear is the enemy's weapon? He uses chaos to create anxiety and worry for all of us. But we don't have to fall into his traps. We can have peace and calm in the midst of the storms in our lives.

Are you tired of dealing with fear, anxiety, and stress? Do you want to know how to stop the feelings of anxiety and fear? Do you want to put the enemy on the run?

In this book you will find help to conquer anxiety, stress and fears. Remember Christ defeated the enemy. He left us instructions. He said, “Do not fear.” He does not want us living in fear, chaos, anxiety and stress. He wants us to live the life God gave us. An abundant peaceful life. We cannot let the enemy steal our peace and joy that belongs to us through Christ.

We can choose to walk with boldness and courage on our journey, Christ shows us how in His words. Throughout the Bible he gives us pearls of wisdom and teaches us to be a conquerer through Him.

Whatever Storm May Come





 "The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long." Deuteronomy 33:12 

There are many storms in life and one of the lessons I think God would like for me to learn is to cast my cares upon Him. To remember that He is in ultimate control and because of that I am not to fear the storms that come my way.

To cast my cares of the rising storm I must trust in Him to protect me and see me through.

When in the midst of a storm I need to keep my focus on Him. I think a prayer for that situation would be:


Lord God, I know not what storms will come today, but I do know You care for me. Help me to remember that You are in control and will work things out for your glory and for my good and with protective hands will see me through.
Amen.


We all have storms, whether they be physical or emotional storms. There are storms that devastate our lives. A storm can be a job loss, the death of someone you love…spouse, child or friend. Your child could be in trouble, maybe addicted to drugs or alcohol. The storm could be your marriage is crumbling; relationships with loved ones are in jeopardy. Maybe the storm is the diagnosis the doctor gave you.


Storms aren’t just weather related there are also life storms. In these pages, you can find the help you need to come through your storms. You will also learn how to overcome and survive the storms, plus have a life to live after the storms.

Unforgiveness or Peace?

 


Many times people hurt us with words and actions. Sometimes they realize it and other times they  don't. 

We have family and friends who may say or do things that hurt. Yet we are called by God to forgive them. Depending upon the situation it can be difficult to forgive, we as humans like to nurse our hurts awhile. But, this isn't hurting them, it is hurting us. 
Doctors tell us our anger stirs emotions that release all sorts of toxins in our body. Toxins we don't need. Some toxins can make us sick.
So when we do get our feelings hurt, just forgive them and move on through your day. Release them to God. Ask Him to heal your hurt and to help them to let go of their anger.
He knows how to reach their hearts. Let us turn to God to have peace in our hearts and stay healthy.

Lord, help me to forgive others and to release them from my unforgiveness. Amen

Is It Hard For You To Love?



“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.” John 15:12-13.

This may be one of the most difficult things for us to do. Love each other as God has loved us.


Where does love start? Within our own family would be a good place to start. Then we could spread that out to loving our neighbors, you know, the ones next door. And then can we spread that out to love those in our church? School? Work?


I've not found a place in the Bible that says it's okay to not love those people if they are not reciprocating. So I guess it would do not good to go to God and say, You know that guy at work, as been down mean to me, so I can't seem to find a reason to love him.
Wonder what God would say?



Do you feel like you are facing life alone sometimes? Do you wonder where your blessings are? Do you feel like giving up hope? Are you constantly fighting fear? Are you concerned about all the hate that is being spread in the world right now?

It's hard to love others with all these questions unanswered.


But, you will find answers to these questions in this book and many more answers to other questions you have. Let God show you, His answers. Your faith will grow stronger, and you will have the peace you are missing and you will have more love in your heart.

What Are you Expecting For the Future?




We can expect a good future full of hope and the promises of the Lord.What is it about us that makes us want to plan out our lives? Are we aware the decisions we make can affect us and those close to us for the remainder of our lives?


I'm not suggesting we do not make plans, but from experience, I can say that it is very important before we put those plans into action we sit down and talk to God about those plans.


You see, if we involve Him, before we act, he can reveal to us either that the plan is flawed and can bring heartache or He can direct us to go forward with our plans, and perhaps even suggest a better plan.


For me, it is important I talk to him first. For I know He always has my back, front, sides, over and under, and even totally around me.

I believe if we include Him in the planning, we can expect a good future full of hope and  promises of the Lords.


We all have storms, physical and emotional storms. There are storms that devastate our lives. A storm can be a job loss, the death of someone you love…spouse, child or friend. Your child could be in trouble. He could be addicted to drugs or alcohol. The storm could be your marriage is crumbling; relationships with loved ones are in jeopardy. Maybe the storm is the diagnosis the doctor gave you. Storms aren’t just weather related there are also life storms. In these pages, you can find the help you need to come through your storms. You will also learn how to overcome your storms, survive your storms and have a life to live after the storms.

And some of these storm are due to our making the wrong decisions. But, even so, God can still bring good out of our mess. His words say, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 NIV
