Worries and anxiety are as a result of carefulness is the result of setting our hearts on problems and challenges rather than on God. If we trust God, we will rely on his promises. The word of God calms every raging sea of anxiety. The scriptures above reveals that perfect peace comes from God in response to mindset that hooks up to him. There are a lot to worry about in life if the God factor is neglected. There is nothing to bother about if our heart is stayed on God. A mind stayed on God is one that trusts him absolutely. Isaiah 30:15 '' For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.''. To the Philippians Paul counsels 4: 6 ''Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God''.
When we heed the instruction ''the peace of God shall keep your hearts and mind through Christ Jesus'' vs 7.
Questions
1. Why do many lack peace even when they are born again?
2. What will you do to always stay your mind on God?
3. How possible is it to be careful for nothing in this world that is full of challenges and crises?
Prayer
O God help me to guide my thoughts from straying from you and your word. Strengthen and resolve to make you the center of my thought and not problem. I receive your peace which passes all understanding in Jesus name.
