He wants you to have\u00a0the peace you deserve, in your heart, mind, soul, \u00a0He is there to tell you that He already has figured it out. He is always there for you and wants to take your burdens away. He even says in the Bible come to me all you who are burdened and I will give you rest. He wants you to not be stressed out and never forget that He cares about you more than anything or anyone in the world. He doesn&#8217;t want you to be burdened by the trials of this life. It&#8217;s important to take time for yourself and time to be alone with God. Remember the more time you spend with God the more your soul will heal.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The closer you get to God the more you will hear His voice. The more time you spend in His word, the more you will learn and the closer you will get to Him. The more time you spend worrying about life, the less you will enjoy it. God wants you to enjoy life to the fullest and enjoy the hard times because they often give the best lessons.\u00a0 It is such a good feeling to know that everything is already lined up and figured out by God for your life. He knows exactly what will happen at the right time. As long as you keep working hard and don&#8217;t lose faith and trust Him, He will bring everything in your life to completion. It also says in the Bible if you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can move mountains in Mathew 27:11.James 1-2-4 says, 2 \u201cConsider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.\u201d This verse literally tells us to rejoice in our trials because we know that our faith gives us perseverance in His timing. We have to be willing to let perseverance get our attention and let Him work His way. So, you will not lack anything in your life and be mature and complete.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Roman&#8217;s 12:2 says, \u201cDo not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God\u2019s will is\u2014his good, pleasing and perfect will.\u201d You can renew your mind each and every day by following god\u2019s example and by getting to know Him personally.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>John 14:27 says, \u201cPeace 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.\u201d This verse tells you that His peace is the best peace than can be given to you. It tells you to not be afraid in any situation or to be troubled no matter what you might be going through or what you will go through. It reminds you that He is always with you.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Roman&#8217;s 16:20 says, \u201cThe God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.\u201d This verse reminds us that God will and already has crushed Satan when He went to the cross.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>God allows you to have peace in your life. So, you shouldn\u2019t stress over what is or what will be happening. You know that you don\u2019t have to have all the answers in your life no matter what happens, but the stress in any moment can make you forget about god\u2019s eternal and everlasting peace, love and His abilities to take away the stress and anxiety you feel. You can easily feel as though everything has to be done right now and forget what peace actually feels like. Satan wants you to be robbed of the peace that God gives you. But God already paid the praise for everything in life.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Peace gives you that feeling that everything will be okay. That is what God gives it to us for. May you always rest in His peace and know that He will give you the best possible outcome in your life, because of His love for you.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Proverbs 16:3 says, \u201cCommit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.\u201d This literally means that as long as you trust God and the plan he has for your life, and commit what you do to the Lord, He will bring it to completion, no matter how long it, might take.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Luke 21:19 says, \u201cStand firm, and you will win life.\u201d Stand firm in your faith and walk through your life with God and you have already have the best thing in life-eternal salvation. Stress makes you think everything has to happen right now and that you have to have everything done in a\u00a0day.\u00a0\u00a0Peace, on the other hand, \u00a0gives you that feeling that everything will be okay, and that everything will work out for His glory. He knows you can&#8217;t do stuff on your own, without Him or His peace.\u00a0\u00a0That is what God gives it to us for. May you always rest in His peace and know that He will give you the best possible outcome in your life, because of His love for you.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God isn&#8217;t asking you to figure it out on your own.
