Finding peace

What does it take to have peace in your soul?  If we look at scripture, we find the following written by Paul:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.  Phil 4:6-7

I believe to find God’s peace, we need to change our attitude.  Here are a few questions to ask yourself: Do I count my blessings every day?  Do I take my troubles to God – even the small, petty daily irritations?  Do I thank God every morning for all that he gives me?  Am I filled with joy?  Do I read scripture and ask God to show me how I can apply his truth to my life?

In your next prayer time, ask God to help you find peace.  It is not easy to change the way we think but with God’s help it can be done.  Think of what an effect your peace can bring to those around you, especially in these chaotic days!
