Jeremiah 19-21, 1 Thessalonians 5:4-28, Psalms 82:1-8, Proverbs 25:9-10
What God said to me – You live in a tumultuous world and people are overcome with anxiety, even children. In this twenty-four-hour news cycle you are constantly bombarded with wars and rumors of wars, with demonstrations and riots, with natural disasters and destruction, and with inflation and cost of living worries. Even My own children are susceptible to being overcome with anxiety and depression. So, how do you deal with it all and not succumb? I have given you everything you need for life and godliness. Daily you must take up the armor I have provided especially the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet of the hope of salvation to protect your heart and mind. Rather than being anxious about all the “things”, learn to rejoice always. Rejoice in your salvation. Rejoice in your eternal hope. Rejoice that “I AM” sovereign and am working out My plan. Pray without ceasing and in everything give thanks. As you learn to practice this lifestyle, My peace that passes all understanding will guard your hearts and minds.
