“And I will pour out upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace, and of prayers: and they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced: and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for an only son, and they shall grieve over him, as the manner is to grieve for the death of the firstborn.” - Zechariah 12:10
Philippians 2:5-7 (ESV) - Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
My mind is crazy. It goes at a mile a minute. I analyze situations, I question my decisions, I obsess over things… I never stop thinking 5 steps ahead. And sometimes, that’s just not really helpful. And by helpful, I mean peaceful.
So today, amid many emotional highs and lows, I realized I needed to just be at peace.
But how do you do that?
Well I dont know about you, but I looked up a bible verse. A couple, to be exact. I actually googled “peace bible verses” and came up with a whole list. Multiple whole lists.
So here’s a few of my favorites/ the ones I’ve been meditating on today:
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. John 14:27
Also…
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
And last…
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15
