Anxious? Fearful? Unsure? Seek His PEACE minute by minute.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Let's face it, whether we are old or young, we face many challenging situations in this world. Our young people are stressed with grades, athletics, scholarships, relationships, and career choices. It is not like it was when I was young!

We as adults are facing situations concerning our communities, families, politics, jobs, and finances. Again, this is not our grandparents' world anymore!

So how do we function and not lose it? We first must know the Savior! Then as we discuss our situations with Him, we find confidence and peace . . . and His peace goes way beyond human understanding.

Like the Jews in the wilderness, His peace must be sought daily . . . throughout the day. It will help us to remain calm in the chaos. We can be confident rather than unsure.  We can face the day rather than backing down and running from reality.

The Creator, Sustainer, and Savior of the world will be with us and give us His peace! Seek Him . . . trust Him!
