Thank You Heavenly Father
Your love, the love of Jesus Christ and the power of Your Holy Spirit will always give me Your peace.
True peace cannot be achieved by your efforts. It can only come from God. Some of your biggest challenges to your peace can be in your relationships with another person, with yourself or with God, Himself.
Our lack of peace with God is due to your misunderstanding of who God is. He is love and He never changes therefore your lack of faith in who He is will rob you of peace. The pathway back to peace with God is to stop believing the lies about Him. Restoration of peace is a direct result of our faith and obedience in God.
If other people have hurt you, your peace with them does not come from you trying harder to get along or waiting for them to change. It comes from you forgiving them. When you do, you allow them to be who they choose to be. In the end, you may not be able to live peaceably with them, but you can let God bring your heart into alignment with His heart and receive His peace.
The enemy will always try to destroy your inner peace. He never stops accusing you of what you see as past mistakes or sins. This can lead you into fear of the future and inhibit you from embracing new ideas. Confession is the path of peace if you have sinned or if you are still accusing yourself of past mistakes.
God is the only One who can and will bring lasting peace.
When God speaks a blessing over you, my Daughter peace comes upon you. Receive His peace from the blessing in Numbers 6:24-26:
"The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace." '
