Finding Peace

Health

It’s alarming to see so many individuals in dismay, stricken by anxiety and depression. There are so many people worrying about tomorrow and struggle to find happiness in their everyday life. Many look toward materialistic items or self indulge in drugs and alcohol at an attempt to repress their hurt or anxieties only to make them worse. Are you one who always seems as if there is a void regardless of what you do?

I’m not writing this to place judgment but to enlighten you on what has helped me in times of despair or when life gets difficult. Most agree that there is a higher power, a creator of this magnificent universe and every living cell that in habitats throughout it. I find peace in the bible itself and the lord’s word. The lord intentionally programmed human kind to know that he exists. I have gotten into debates as to why I know the lord exist. The reason I gave is the same today, because when you come to know the lord and practice his word then you can feel our savior within you. The Holy Spirit resides within all believers, and will provide peace.

It’s just like the wind, you can’t see it but when there is a breeze you can feel the cool air touch your skin. When I read the word and mediate to it, I feel a great sensation of calm and sometimes and overwhelming peace that could bring you to your knees. The lord’s word is true and powerful, there are so many that will be ignorant and refuse his existence and I can only pray for those lost souls. If you make the time to pick up the bible and mediate to it and pray on a daily basis, you too will learn that you can find peace.

Some of my favorite versus are found in Matthew 6:24-34

24 No man can serve two masters. He will either hate one, and love the other: or be attentive to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. 25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about the body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food: and the body more than clothes.

26 Look at the birds in the sky, they do not sow, or reap, they gather nothing into barns: yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you much more important than they? 27 Can any of you by worrying, add a single moment to his life? 28 Why are you anxious about clothes, learn from the way the wild flowers grow, they neither work nor spin. 29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. 30 If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is cast into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you. O ye of little faith?

31 So do not say: What are we to eat: or what are we to drink, or what are we to wear? 32 The unbelievers are always running after these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. 33 Seek first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be given you besides. 34 So don’t worry about tomorrow; let tomorrow take care of itself. For today has trouble enough of its own.

Take refuge in the lord our savior and build a relationship with him. In the end, when our short time is done on earth we will have eternity with him. Place your worries on the lord and find peace in the HOLY BIBLE.
