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

It’s not God’s will for us to go around stressed, troubled and in turmoil. He wants us to have his perfect peace.

In John 14:27, Jesus says, “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.”

Too often, we don’t take this advantage that God has given us. We allow the little things to stress, worry, and throw us off track.

Below is my video on how to take part in this advantage God has given us. It lists four tips on how to get peace of mind. I hope you’ll check it out and I hope it blesses you.

One thing I didn’t mention in the video is Isaiah 26:3 which says, “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You. Because he trusts in You.” This lets us know that If we will take our mind off the worries and cares that don’t matter and focus on the Lord, He will keep us in his perfect peace. That sounds like a good deal to me.

I think about Peter, the disciple of Christ, and how he was walking on the water to Jesus. The second he took his eyes off Christ and began to look at the winds and waves, that’s when he began to sink.

For many of us that’s whats happening. We’re taking our focus off the things that do matter and dwelling on the pointless things that don’t matter. And in the interim, we’re sinking in turmoil, worry, stress, fear, doubt and anxiety. If you will keep your thoughts, focus and attention on God, He will be sure to keep you in His perfect peace as you charge forth on your journey of life!
