The Pursuit of Peace

/

Peace is probably the most elusive object in grief.

Initially, you do whatever you must just to survive. Your heart is shattered and your mind is shot, yet decisions have to be made that are created by your loss. You can barely breath. You’re getting from minute to minute.

Peace for now and in the future are nowhere on your radar.

Hold on! Don’t give up! Let’s look together at II Thessalonians 3:16:

“Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.”

The fact is – there’s very little you have to do to obtain peace in your circumstance. That’s because the “Lord of Peace” will do it for you – at all times – in every way – and HE IS WITH YOU.

Here’s the little something you could do. Because He knows how much you hurt, He’s made it so easy:

  • Recognize God as LORD! He’s the overseer of your loss and your recovery.

  • Request that He do for you what you can’t do for yourself.

  • Remember how capable He is to provide for your every need.

  • Rest in knowing that He’s in control of all things, including the timing for you to know PEACE! 

Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
