![Need some peace?... Yeah, me too. We all need peace right now. But how do we get it when everything is shouting at us right now?
. "Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you." [Philippians 4:4-9]
.
It can be tempting to think that peace is automatic when you believe in Jesus. But Scripture tells us that peace comes when we worship and rejoice. It comes with laying down our anxieties, fears, doubts, and needs at the feet of Jesus. It comes when we trust God and know He is for us. Peace does come. But we have a part to play. .
We are in a battle every day. We always have been. It is just more visible to us these days. But our God hasn't changed. .
Some trust in hand sanitizer, food storage, guns, money, jobs, knowledge, control, isolation, doctors, news, information....but we need to trust in the Lord. .
The Lord IS our peace. He is with us and for us and therefore what can be against us? .

![For God has not given us a spirit of fear 🙌 but of power, love, and self discipline. [2 Tim 1:7] ..
I found this quote from @themoneysavingmom and it resonated with me. So many people are living in fear right now, which means CHOOSING fear. We have been freed from that, friends. We can make the choice to have courage and strength in the midst of uncertainty because He holds all in His hands, and will make a way! ..
"Choose courage. The battle may seem fierce. The future may seem terrifying. But don't let fear win. Stand up. Take that next right step. Keep showing up. Don't give up." .
