Peace

As I was reading and typing this message this morning, I really wasn't paying that much attention to what it was saying to me. My day is full of everything but really nothing at all. It's like OK lets get this done for the day and move on to others nothing things to do Today.
This is why I wanted to start this blog so that I and others like me can take the time to read what someone else who has more knowledge said.
I read and type all ofthis from a book, i think it helps me to understand some things that I other wise would not understand.
Today's theme was Peace... I have to say that when I was done and was trying to reread everything.. Peace for me is knowing that if I have a problem I can go to God, ask him to take it from me.. sometimes I have a power struggle over the problem.
But I have learned that when I try to control things myself the problem only gets worse.
I have no peace of mind, no peace in my heart, so there fore there is no peace in my life.
So pleace read and reread the "Theme for Day 5" and see where you can learn to have peace in your life. I am not saying that I never struggle with wanting to do things my way, because I do.
What I am saying is that life is so much better when I just turn it over to God.
Thank you please leave your word of what you think about this or whatever problem you have help someone else or get help from us..
Have a great day
Denise

Day 5 Today's Theme: Peace

Praising God For His Peace

But now in Chirst Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. for He Himself is our peace.

Ephesians 2:13-14

On many occasions, our outer struggles are simply manifestions of the inner conflicts that we feelwhen we stray from

God's promise of peace,

The beautiful words of john 14:27 remind us that Jesus offers peace, not as the world gives, but as He alone gives:

"Peace I leave with you.

My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful" (HCSB).

As believers, our challenge is straightforward: we should welcome Christ"s peace into our hearts and then, as best we can share His peace with our neighbors.

Today, as a gift to yourself, to your family, and to your friends, invite Christ to preside over every aspect of yourlife. It's the best way to live and the surest path to peace...today and forever.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I leave you peace; my peace I give to you.

I do not give it to you as the world does.

So don't let your hearts be troubled or afraid.

John 14:27 NCV

-------------------------------------------

May the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace as you trust in him,

so that you may overflow with hope by

the power of the Holy pirit.

Romans 15:13 NIV

Today's Prayer of Praise

Dear Lord, let me accept the peace and abundance that You offer through Your Son Jesus. You are the Giver of all things good, father, and you give me peace when I draw close to you.

Help me to trust Your will, to follow Your commands, and to accept Your peace, today and forever.

Amen
