When something in
your life or thoughts makes you anxious, come to Me and talk about it. Bring Me
your prayer and petition with thanksgiving, saying: “Thank you, Jesus, for this
opportunity to trust You more.” Though the lessons of trust that I send to you
come wrapped in difficulties, the benefits far outweigh the cost.
Well-developed trust will bring you many blessings, not the least of which is My peace. I have promised to keep you in perfect peace to the extent that you trust in Me. The world has it backward, teaching that peace is the result of having enough money, possessions, insurance, and security systems. My peace, however, is such an all-encompassing gift that it is independent of all circumstances. Though you lose everything else, if you gain My peace you are rich indeed.
Do not be
anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance
and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your
[specific] requests known to God. Philippians 4:6
You will keep in
perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that
is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes
refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]. Isaiah 26:3
