Perfect Peace

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3

Do you find it easy to trust people or do past events and situations cause you to mistrust everyone? They say that trust is earned, so when someone makes good on a promise you feel more confident that they are true to their word. Unfortunately, when trust is violated it affects nearly all future relationships. Living in a constant state of mistrust can be exhausting, causing anxiety and sometimes leading to isolation.

This is not how God wants you to live. He wants you to have peace – perfect peace – which comes from him alone.

God is not a man, that he should lie… has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfil it? Numbers 23:19

Proverbs 30 tells us that every word of God proves true, so you can trust him completely with all your fears and doubts. I would encourage you to take a few minutes every day to clear your mind of all the clutter and focus wholly on Him. Recite a verse that is personal to you and brings a sense of calm. Repeat it two or three times over until you become aware of God’s presence surrounding you. Then, let Him keep you in perfect peace.
