Trust Him

When I think of peace, I consider how we feel when we have peace about something... We feel relieved, content, full of eaze, unworried or afraid, but rather, we are more confident. So, how do I we acquire this wonderful peace? Well, Psalm 34:14 says that we are to seek and pursue peace. We are to search for this peace in our lives. So, where can we find this peace exactly? Well, if Jesus is called Our Prince of Peace, then it's obvious that we can only obtain this peace through Him!
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." ~ Colossians 3:15
God wants us to let His peace rule in our hearts. How do we allow God's peace to rule in our hearts, by simply trusting Him with our whole heart. This means giving God the reins in our life.
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise Him." ~ Psalm 28:7
What I think God is saying in this verse is that That God is our strength, when we feel discouraged or just plain weak sometimes we can always depend on God to help strengthen us. I think this verse also says that we are helped when we trust God with all heart. We are to trust God with all of our hearts! When we give God everything, and just trust Him, then we will have no need to worry. This is how we can gain peace, it's when we give our life to God because we realize that our lives are already in God's hands. He wants the best for all of us! He doesn't want to hurt us or cause our lives to fall apart. I claim Jeremaih 29:11, when I feel like my world is falling apart and I just don't know what to do. I'm human just like anyone else, so trusting God completely is hard for me sometimes. But in all honestly, He does have a perfect plan for all of us. And His plan and will for our life is better then anything that we could even dream of. I just want to encourge you to trust God with your life. Allow Him to control your life and remember that when things might not go the way you planned, God is always there and wants the best for your life. Just trust Him.
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." ~ Jeremiah 29:11
