Pleading Jesus' Blood

Be anxious for nothing, 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 minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

So how can one go through so much turmoil and stress and seem to be calm? How is it possible to have PEACE when there is nothing but chaos and unexpected challenges? 

Paul tells us that in EVERYTHING, that means EVERY situation, talk with the Lord and let Him know . . . Then TRUST Him! THANK Him because He knows, cares, and is at work. Stay out of His way once we give it to Him. Let Him work it out. Just stay in close contact with Him and there will a PEACE that no one else can understand except for fellow Christ followers.  

The BLOOD still heals, forgives, and transforms. It not only forgives sin, but allows our testimony to be seen by others (Revelation 12:11). We may not be murdered for our beliefs, but the way we live can surely reflect the dedication and commitment we have to our Savior. 

Give it to God and don't take it back . . . Easy to say but hard to live out. However, we must do just that to have the PEACE OF GOD rule in our lives!
