I Need Your Peace

Today’s Bible Reading: 

Philippians 4:6 - “Don’t worry about anything. Instead, tell God about everything. Ask and pray. Give thanks to him.”

John 16:33 - “I have told you these things, so that you can have peace because of me. In this world you will have trouble. But cheer up! I have won the battle over the world.”

Today’s Helpful Thought: Peace. Peace is when You don’y worry about things. Peace is when You know that everything is going to be okay and that you don’t have to fear. Peace is when You relax and don’t freak out, because you know that God is in charge. Peace comes from God. When you let God be in charge of your life, you don’t have to be afraid. When you relax because you know that God has good plans for you, you have peace. And when you don’t have to be in charge of everyone around you and make everything work out well, we have peace. Peace comes when we understand that God is smarter than us and that we can trust Him. He will do what is best for us, so we don’t have to worry!  

Today’s Prayer: Dear Lord, will You make the decisions in my life? It is Your peace that helps me have a good day. So I want You to be in charge of my day, today and everyday! That way I don’t have to worry! Instead of worrying, please help me to pray. (Which is a cool way to say I am talking with You.) Help me not to worry about what is going to happen today and in my life. Help me to relax and be calm because I know that You are taking care of me and that I am right where You want me! Help me to have peace, Jesus! Thank You for hearing me and answering me!

Today’s Time to Think: This is what I need to stop worrying about and let God take care of:
