As a believer, one who is filled with the Holy Spirit, you have access to ongoing peace no matter what life storm you may be walking through. Part of our armor are the shoes of peace and a fruit of the Spirit is PEACE! We should be walking in peace and oozing peace ALL THE TIME!

If you’re not experiencing peace, it’s not because of your circumstances or because God’s not showing up…a lack of peace reveals where you’re struggling to trust God and where you need to get your mind on track according to His Truth.

Isaiah 26:3 says: “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”

Check in with your thought life. If you’re consumed with worry, fear, the what if, or fixating on the problem, you are going to feed depression, stress, and anxiety. Instead, feed faith by replacing each worrisome thought with a scripture and began to declare God’s Words of hope and promise over your situation! Invite the Holy Spirit to have His way in you and through you. Ask Him to give you His eyes to see beyond what you’re feeling. God’s ways are higher and He is always at work. Keep your focus on God’s Truth (your mind steadfast), choosing to trust Him (believing Him at His Word), knowing He uses ALL THINGS (the hard, the messy, the painful…) for your good, you will experience a peace that is beyond your human understanding!

Much love, J
