FATHER GIVE US PEACE

Most of our problems come from focusing on the wrong things. Instead of emphasizing the possessions of this world, we should focus on our spiritual needs. When we are outside looking in, we cannot see the pain of someone's heart or understand their struggles. The possessions this world offers will not make you happy, and after a while, they will lose their value not only to others but to you as well. We need to focus on things that will not lose weight or the things in our lives that will not change. We need to focus on God (Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.)  The way we look today will change, our friends will change, our health will change, and our lifestyle will change. All things of the world will change, but the Word of God will not change. God is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow. God's love will give us a fulfillment that no human or worldly possessions can provide.   When we develop a relationship with God, the feeling of peace cannot be described with words; it can only be felt with the heart. Real intimacy with God; will give us peace above all understanding. Once we have received GOD'S PEACE, we will no longer need the drugs, alcohol, and bad relationships we had in the past. As long as we feed our spirit daily with the Word, pray, praise, worship, and give, "we will be happy and complete." Once we have the completeness that a relationship with God brings, everything else in our lives will fall into place.

Father, we want to develop a real relationship with You to find peace. Lord, You said in John 14:27  Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid. So, Father, we stand on Your Word; help us overcome our troubled hearts and our fears and order our steps in Your Word. Lord, keep us from being religious fanatics but inward changed men and women so that we will be filled with the Holy Spirit. Lord, help us receive and understand the wisdom and knowledge of the Word and teach us how to implement Your WORD into our daily lives. Lord, You said in Matthew 18:19 that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. So, Father, we come to You together in prayer asking for Your peace, in Jesus name Amen
