Finding true peace and comfort in life

-


By J.E. Nickerson

It is easy to let our minds and thoughts be filled with things that bring us worry and fear. News stories of impending financial difficulties and shortages of food and political unrest can steal our peace and threaten our mental health.

This is why Paul told us in Philippians 4:8 that in order to deal with the trials and difficulties of life, we must be careful what we think about. While most people try to fill their minds with inspirational thoughts, meditation, quotes and declarations, Paul instructs us on exactly what kind of things we should focus on in order to have lasting peace and mental health. Philippians 4:8 NIV says the following, “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Instead of letting your mind dwell and focus on all the negative and fearful news and content in the world, relying on positive thinking and mindful techniques, ask God to help you fix your mind and thoughts on the things that bring true peace and comfort.

  By J.E. Nickerson God wants us to come to him with our hopes, dreams and needs. When Jesus walked the earth, he taught his disciples to pray to God and ask him to provide for their daily needs. He called it our daily bread. These were the mundane or ordinary things that everyone needs in order to fulfill their responsibilities. But prayer and reliance on God does not stop there. God wants us to bring him our hopes and the things we want that are out of the ordinary. Our deepest hopes and dreams, the things we want for our future even when we cannot see a way to obtain them.  God wants to be involved in every facet and area of our life. This is what Paul meant when he talked about leaning our entire personality on God in trust and faith. It’s the only way that we can truly experience peace and comfort in our life.  Whatever you are hoping for in life, I challenge you to give it to God and trust him with the outcome. Let him lead you and show you how to obtain whatever you are hoping f
