True Peace

I read about this in my devotional today and was so insightful I thought it would be a good idea to share. Peace is not the absence of storms and trouble. Peace is the ability to be calm during periods of storms and trials. This text hit me because it speaks right into my heart. Many times in life when problems and storms coming into our lives we long for the time when the storm passes and we can have peace again. But really that peace is only temporary and will only result in us living on an emotional rollercoaster when the storms reappear as they are guaranteed to do. True peace is enjoying God’s calmness despite the absence or presence of storms.

The one of thing ive noticed in this my short walk on this earth is that life is full of challenges. And they just get bigger and bigger and bigger. To be honest I have no idea how people can cope through the storms of life without God. Absolutely no clue. Am just glad I found him in time to help me remove the scars of past battles so they don’t prevent me from soaring into my future.

Heavenly father, I am in need of your peace. Help me Lord to keep my head during storms. Father it aint easy but please remind me to reach for you in my time of need. Cos at the end of the day you really are my peace.
