Peace in any circumstance

“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:6-7

We all go through tough times… no human can escape it! That’s just a part of our “humanness”. Could you imagine going through the times when you’re supposed to be in panic, in turmoil, upset, and worried, in peace?! Yea I couldn’t either! There’s this saying that Nigerians say…”problems no dey finish” and truly there are “problem’s” every where we look!!! That’s just how this world is designed! All you can do is change how you handle those problems… Some people just neglect them and let it pile up until they simply just can’t take it anymore (the longer you let it pile up, the harder it is to break free from worry and anxiety!!)

Back to that peace I was talking about…This kind of peace is not for sale! You simply just can’t buy it! It’s a free gift from God that comes out of a deep, close, unshakable relationship with Him! This type of peace leads to unfathomable joy!!!! How do you get this peace you ask?… You simply just turn your problems to God! It’s that simple! When you cast your burdens on God instead of keeping it for yourself, you have more time to worship Him!! God loves when we worship Him! He loves it when we give Him all our issues and just praise and thank Him for solving them for us! We were never meant to carry all the problems on our shoulders! God has promised us that He is always with us!
