Finding Peace in a Chaotic World


Finding Peace in a Chaotic World
                                                                                Return to Main Menu

And the peace of God, 
  which transcends (surpasses) all understanding
     will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

For most people, it seems a natural state of being, the natural way life is, or perhaps for some people, a curse of their life that peace of mind is absolutely elusive in this seemingly chaotic world. From the beginning of time, most people have always seemed to have trouble being satisfied and at peace with life.

It seems we want what we are told to avoid,
     over reach for what we cannot have, and
     have desires for things that are not good for us.

In doing these things we create chaos for ourselves and painful hurt for people around us.

For most people it seems peace of mind is difficult, fleeting, or never even near. For most people, peace of mind is not even firmly defined and is just an uneducated elusive dream.



Peace of Mind

Peace of mind is and cannot be defined by society, culture, or nationality or anything of this world but is defined by the Creator God of this world. He gives us life, defines our peace, and in being our creator desires a relationship with us.

Peace of mind comes not from happiness you discover in life as much as it is found in perusing the joy of finding Life more Abundantly than you can ever totally know.

Peace of mind comes not from achieving greatness in your life as much as it is about having grace in your achievements. 

Peace of mind comes not from present possessions you have worked for or satisfaction in the wants you desire but from the future promise of what you will be freely given by God.

Peace of mind comes not from so called “peace” and happiness found in and of this world as much as it is about finding yourself a peace given from beyond this world.

Peace of mind comes not from having a healthy body but begins more so by having a healthy mind.

Peace of mind comes not from being important as much as it comes from knowing what is truly important.

Peace of mind comes not from depending on yourself for what you need as much as it comes in helping others find ways to supply their needs and seeking Him who is the supplier of all our needs.
Peace of mind comes not from people who know you but rather from Him who desires to know you.

Peace of mind comes not from being proud of what you create as much as it comes from being humble before your Creator.

Peace of mind never comes from the things and people that serve you as much as it comes from the people you serve.

Peace of mind never comes from willfully doing for others as much as it comes from purposely living life in God's will.

Peace of mind is never a state of mind as much as it is a journey guided by the Holy Spirit leading to knowing and Trusting God's will for your life.


God's Plan

God has a plan for you, and you will prosper, but in a prosperity not defined by this world.  Find Peace and prosperity of mind in following the commanding words of Jesus, "But, Seek first the Kingdom of God...".   Jesus even tells us how to do this. 

 In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus tells us the Kingdom comes where the will of God is being done.  Seek God's will, Trusting His plan for you and therein you will live in His Kingdom on earth.    


Through the Guidance of the Holy Spirit, and in that Promise, Peace of Mind comes and is accomplished.  In the Guidance of the Holy Spirit we find our Relationship with God that He wants with us.   ONLY in a personal relationship with Trusting God and Jesus can you find on this earth the Peace of God that transcends all understanding and the eternal salvation of a loving God.


"Know God, Know peace

No God, No Peace"


Trust God, Trust Jesus- John 14:1


Peace


Thanks be to God
