We have made it to Day 10 of our study! Congratulations!
Our study today is about being at peace with unresolved issues in our lives. Most of us have some unresolved issues…those things that linger in the corners of our mind and bubble to the surface when we least expect. However, God’s desire for us is to be at peace with unresolved issues– to live in the peace and presence of the moment. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your mind in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
God wants to give us His peace, a peace that transcends all understanding. When we have the peace of God, our lives can be turned upside down and inside out and yet…we have peace. His peace is described in Hebrew as Shalom. Knowing our value and the omnipotence of our Creator, we can live with a Shalom peace…a holy, biblical, sacred peace.
Though wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee…Isaiah 26:3
Though you may be having difficulties in your life, though you may have some unresolved issues, let the word of God bring you peace and lay your issues to rest.
Write a prayer to God today—releasing all of your unresolved issues to Him.
- Recite the following scriptures:
- Philippians 4:7
- Isaiah 26:3
- Reflect on what these promises in God’s word mean to you.
- In your journal, describe a mindset built on (Shalom) peace.
My reflection on the assignment today:
- We all have unresolved issues.
- I can walk in the peace of Christ.
- I can build a spiritually healthy arsenal through scripture memorization, which will help me through difficult seasons.
- Writing my prayers and completing the exercises each day helps me grow closer to God, builds God confidence, helps me lay things to rest and builds my spiritual strength.
May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your hearts and your mind in Christ Jesus!
