Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled


The God who made the universe, who set the stars in the sky and created every creature on earth; the God who makes night and day, the seasons, the land and the seas; He is a God who loves us and knows everything about us, all our needs, all our concerns, all our fears and troubles.  And He says in His word, "Let not your hearts be troubled or afraid."

In Philippians 4:6-7, it says,"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

I have passed through my own trials in life (which I shared in my post Though I Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death) and I have experienced this peace beyond understanding.  My prayer is that you will, too.

I'm linking up with Sunday Sketches, Inspire Me Monday, Word Art Wednesday and Blessed Beyond A Doubt.

    I love this scripture in Phillipians and it really stood out in my spirit that His peace transcends our understanding. He can give us peace in a situation where we don't understand HOW we could have peace. We can trust Him with everything in our lives! Thanks for this great post! :)
