DON'T LOSE YOUR PEACE

TOPIC: DON’T LOSE YOUR PEACE

TEXT:  "You will keep him in perfect peace" (Isaiah 26:2)

We lose our peace of mind for four reasons:

 1) we try to change the people in our lives. As you grow older and wiser, you realize that you can't change other people, only God can! And He does when you back off and love them as they are. This doesn't mean agreeing with everything they do, it means committing to love them regardless, claiming God's promises on their behalf and allowing Him to deal with them His own way, in His time, and for His glory. May be the reason you are all stressed out is because you are trying to do something about something you can't do anything about..

2) We try to make things happen when it’s   not the right time. 'There is a time for everything..."(Ecclesiastes 3:1). If you've raised children you will know that one of their chief characteristics is impatience. They can't wait for anything. God wants us to outgrow our childishness so He makes us wait, trust and mature!

3) We get upset because we are not progressing fast enough. You can slow down your spiritual growth through neglect but ultimately..."we all..are..being changed by the Spirit (2Corinthians 3:18). So keep on enjoying your life while your God works on your problems.

4) We keep driving ourselves harder and harder without asking what God wants. We do what we think God wants, without trying to know what He actually wants, when He wants it and how He wants it done. As a result, we keep working harder without getting the desired result. What's the solution? Let your heart fully stay on Him. Absolute trust must trust in God absolutely!
