Don’t let these times of fear and anxiety threaten your peace. Today, six ways to let the peace of Christ rule your heart.
These suggestions come from Joel Ryan writing for Crosswalk.com
First, Recognize the Prince of Peace Has Already Overcome Fear.
Peace is one of the greatest gifts Christ offers his followers (John 14:27), a fruit born of His spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
Next, Ask for Peace because Jesus Understands Your Fears and Hears Your Prayers
Jesus Christ can not only conquer your fears, he can relate to them because he experienced everything you’re feeling during his time on earth. (Philippians 2:5-8).
Third, Make Jesus Your Only Rock—He is Stronger than Your Circumstances
We are only as strong as our foundations, and if our confidence and peace are anchored to things that can be taken or destroyed, our confidence and peace will go where they go.
Fourth, Believe That Jesus is With You in the Storm
It’s one thing to know that you can cry out to God in the midst of your storms; it’s another thing to know that he’s actually right there by your side through it all.
Next, Focus on What God Is Doing and Wants to Do in Your Life
Look for where God is already moving and doing the incredible. You will not be disappointed by what you find.
Finally, Let Go and Learn to Trust in God’s Power
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” (Isaiah 26:3)
