When God is Near There is Peace

 


An Emoji Devotional for Sun, March 27 2022


Topic: When God is near there is peace.


Highlight: 


The Lord is Near! Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation with prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. And the peace that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6


Why is your heart troubled? so many things on our mind lately. We need someone to help with our burdens. Jesus said it, maybe you did not remember: “Come to me all of you who are tired from the heavy burden you have been forced to carry. I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28 ERV


Whatever is giving you sleepless night can be handled by Jesus if you follow his teachings. 


"Accept my teaching. Learn from me. I am gentle and humble in spirit. And you will be able to get some rest. Yes, the teaching that I ask you to accept is easy. The load I give you to carry is light.”

Matthew 11:29‭-‬30 ERV


Though the Lord is near, he wants you to come.  Even if you cannot come to Jesus because of forces of life holding you bound, you can beg God to bid you to come to Him because once Jesus asks you to come, no power can hold you down. And wherever Jesus is, you find peace and joy.


Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.”


You do not need to resist your anxieties or anything bothering your heart. Instead, in every situation with prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God by asking Jesus to bid your anxieties away according to the will of God. Remember to abide in God's word which is the teachings of Jesus which you can find daily in the Bible.


Remember that Jesus is in the midst of your storm. Wake him up like the apostles did and ask Him to help you with peace that surpasses all understanding.


Prayer: Lord Jesus please bid me to come into your peace that passes all understanding. I pray with Thanksgiving in your name. Amen
