You are tired of feeling fearful. Living isolated from people we love the most is tough. Maybe you are sick or caring for a sick loved one.
Your unemployment has diminished, and jobs are not available right now. Plans have come to a halt, and you’re unsure what your future looks like now.
While coping with your fears during the pandemic, you still have a spouse, children, or someone who requires much of your time and attention.
Be assured. God is near to you in a world gone mad with illness, death, and civic unrest.

Imagine this. Today, God’s outstretched arms offer you a gift. The gift is God’s peace. What happens next? Read on.
Do you choose to accept God’s peace each day? Here’s how.
1. Accept God’s Gift of Peace – Jesus promised you peace. However, no matter how much God offers this gift to you, it is not yours if you don’t accept it.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid (John 14:27).”
2. Open God’s Gift of Peace – No gift is useful if it remains unopened. Open yourself to receive God’s peace by praying and studying scripture. Start each day with God, stay faithful to Him during the day, and end each day with Him.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Phillippians 4:6-7).”
3. Use God’s Gift of Peace – Again, you have a choice. You can put God’s peace to work in your life, or store it away, never to be used or seen. Your primary focus must be seeking God’s help for your faults and worries. Pray for others, while realizing only God can change them.
“I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world (John 16:33).”
Accepting God’s peace will not stop the conflict surrounding you! His peace will keep you hopeful and give you joy through each battle.
Each day accept God’s peace, open yourself to it, and share it with others. You will find yourself feeling more relaxed and hopeful. You will grow in your faith because you are applying his Holy Word to your daily living.

Thankyou so much for these words of God. I need His peace to be strong in letting Him work things out for me. He told me to let Him work out my needs at this time. The only way I can sit back, and do nothing to interfere with His work , is to have His peace.
Thank you Kordula. Hang in there. God is with you. Love you.
