Jesus Christ said;
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. ( John 14:27 *NIV )
Dear Addison,
Now with all that is going on in the World today it
is hard to have any peace of mind. After all, with wars
and rumors of wars, terrorists, and violent weather etc
happening all over the World, it is a bit unsettling to say
the least!
So remember that Jesus told us; "You will hear
of wars and rumors of wars, but
see to it that you are not alarmed.
Such things must happen, but the
end is still to come. Nation will
rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom. There will be
famines and earthquakes in various
places. All these are the beginning
of birth pains." ( Matthew 24:6-8 )
Birth pains of a new age that is, so no doubt the Universe is
unfolding as it should be.
Therefore keep your mind focused on Jesus Christ
for He also said; "I have told you these
things, so that in me you may have
peace. In this world you will have
trouble. But take heart! I have
overcome the world."( John 16:33 )
So Addison, why not start each day with the following
prayer, and even better yet, why not try to live by it as well.
Then, Let the peace of Christ rule in
your hearts, since as members of
one body you were called to peace.
And be thankful, and by living this prayer it will
help you find true peace and serenity indeed!
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful World as it is,
Not as I would have it;
Trusting that You will make all things right
If I surrender to Your will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You
Forever in the next. Amen.
Author, Reinhold Niebuhr
Now Addison, don't you feel more peaceful right now?
I thought so. Have a great day! Amen.
All My Love & Prayers,
Pastor Allen
