I confess this is something I overlook, tho every time I read it I think, 'oh yes, I must try this.' So this is supposed to guard our hearts and minds with God's peace. Interesting, since peace is something we often lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think often we get caught up thinking about what is happening in the here and now, and really our promises are more about an eternal future. Once you can let go of the cares of everyday life, and simply put your faith in Him, peace comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as we let go of each thing, not making it (whatever in life) our must have, our source of joy, or foundation we trust in, then we are holding lightly to the things of this world - material things, people, health, etc but holding them in their right position under God & not in place of God. `Where our heart is .....` Always good to have a heart check now & then to see what has taken hold in there.

It comes when you trust Him for big things in life not just the small. It comes when you realize that you own nothing it is all His.it comes when you come up against something that is totally out of your control but you know without a shadow of doubt, that no matter how things turn out, it is His good and perfect will and it is for your good, it comes when you trust Him, because you know He loves you and you love Him and you leave everything to Him because you are His.

Courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. I have come to learn that I cannot change people, places, things, and situations. I have to accept that, if I want serenity. What I can change is my attitude towards these things. All in God's hands, not mine. Let go, let God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
