Finding Peace in the presence of God

So many people have recently spoken about being unsettled, anxious, having feelings of restlessness. I have experienced this myself on numerous occasions, and most of the time my relief comes from abiding in the presence of God .

Often times when we have these "stress" , "anxious", "panicky" episodes we may find it difficult to read God's word or to come into his presence in prayer. Sometimes there may be a "feeling" of heaviness /sadness/hopelessness. It is not uncommon to have these thoughts or feelings. And you are not alone. It is not uncommon! But God's gives us promises ........

1Pe:5:10: But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

We need to adjust our focus.

Someways to change the atmosphere or climate within your spirit or home is to ...................

Put on Praise Music .........

Play Praise and Worship in your home .

Isa:61:3: To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Listen to God's Word.........

You can pick up cd's at the dollar tree in our area of the entire new testament for $1.00 or cds of the individual books of the bible. Play it in you home so that the Word is going forth. You can't ever get too much of God's Word.

Psalms:119:105: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Proverb:30:5: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Heb:4:12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Pray.........

It is a spiritual weapon and a beautiful way to come into our Heavenly Father's presence. If you are unsure what to pray....pray in the Spirit and then pray in your understanding....

Ro:8:26: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.


Pray with your Prayer Partner and ask other believers to pray for you concerns too !

De:32:30: How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?

Jas:5:16: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

IF these feelings persist...............Speak to your Pastor. God has put him in place in the Body to care for the sheep.

If you do not have a Pastor at this time......Speak to a Brother or Sister in the Lord who is mature and can give you Godly counsel . Seek out Fellowship with like-minded believers.

God is Faithful

God ALWAYS causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus! Praise the Lord!!!!
