Have you ever noticed that some people, no matter what is going on in their lives, always seem to have a peace about them; while others seem to panic under the same circumstances. Even Jesus' disciples were not at peace during trials. One Biblical example can be found in Mark 4:35-41. Here the disciples panic over the wind and waves, then wake Jesus out of His sleep to plead for their safety.
As Christians, “we have not been given a sprit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.” (1 Timothy 1:7) The Apostle Paul tell us to, “Be anxious for nothing,“ knowing that God has given to us, “ a peace that passes all understanding.” (Philippians 4:6-7) However, knowing this and putting it into practice in our lives, are two different things. Paul goes on to say in Philippians, that this peace can only be accomplished through , “prayer and supplication making our requests known unto God.”
What is causing you to be anxious? Have you been constant in prayer?
The Truth
"Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” (Romans 12:12)
