Day 3: Peace

Peace

 

 

Question: When you get stressed out, what do you do to have peace?

 

Focus: What to really do when your stressed

 

 

Hello again! We are going to be focusing on peace. Do you ever feel so mad, so stressed, so frustrated, that you let it out on someone you love? I do this a lot. I get so frustrated that I let it out on my family when they did nothing wrong.

 

Question: When you get mad at someone or something what do you do?

 

For me, I usually have the tendency to yell. Yell at someone for the smallest things. This is not the way to go. Before you say anything that could turn rude, say to yourself, "Is this what God would say to this person?" or "Is this what God would do?" After asking yourself those questions and revising the words in your head, then you can begin to speak them. Most of the time when we are stressed out, we don't have peace. God commands us to be peaceful while living through the hard times. While we may feel like there is no way to become peaceful at a time, there is, as long as you do it with God.

"The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. There is no law against these things!"
Galatians 5:22-23

 

 

How to have peace in a difficult situation

 

Pray

 

 

That's it. You just have to pray to Jesus! Once you really sit down, pray, get back up- wait! You're not done yet! That's not all to praying. You have to really talk to God. Before you end your prayer, just stay where you are, and let God reveal Himself to you before you go on with your day. This doesn't mean He will literally appear in front of you! You just have to keep still and feel His presence enter the room.

 

Whenever you need some peace, just ask God for it. These verses may help.  :)

 

"As soon as I pray, You answer me; You encourage me by giving me strength" Psalm 138:3

 

"By our purity, patience, and kindness we have shown ourselves to be God's servants." 2 Corinthians 6:6

"In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers to God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind. 2 Corinthians 6:4

 

"Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you." 1 Peter 5:7

 

"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

 

 

The next time you need peace, ask God. He will not rebuke you if you ask! :)
