Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1

Throughout this past year I have been so worried about our country. Our America is at unrest. This is not an unrest coming from outside but from within our own borders. Our peace is threatened it seems daily. What will happen in the future of our country is a question in everyone’s mind whether we are democrat or republican. Will democracy continue or will we be a society that embraces socialism? The answer to this (and so many other questions) does not lie in the hands of man, but in the hands of Almighty God through the Lord Jesus.

The word of God says that when we have embraced life with Jesus and follow His word we find peace. The peace that comes from a life with God is the reassurance that He is in control. This peace can never be duplicated by the world or anything in it!

I have found this peace does not always come immediately. I have to learn to let go and give this worry and unrest to Him. This takes courage to let go and give Him these worries, but He tells us He will take care of our tomorrows. 1 Peter 5:7 says to cast your cares on Him for He cares for you.

Starting today, I will continue to pray and ask Him to help me let go. I will ask Him to allow me to release these cares and worries over to Him.

What about you? Are you having these same worries? If so, then continue to pray with me and ask for His control. And then let the Peace of God rule in your hearts through Christ Jesus!
