Perfect Peace

I’m just a 17 year old girl with my regular problems, that don’t always seem so regular. I get over stressed, when I should be laying at the feet of Jesus, I get frustrated, when I should be long-suffering, I get bitter and angry, when I should forgive as Christ forgave me. All of this and more should be laid at the feet of the one who laid down His life freely to save ours. 

My problems and worries may seem tiny compared to my parents worries, and they probably are, and sometimes I feel like I shouldn’t bother God with my tiny problems. But, Matthew 11:28 says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He said “All”, which would mean everyone, no matter what it is, He is big enough to take care of it. He hung the stars in the sky and wove the universe together, He can handle our frustrations, our anger, our problems, our worries. Psalms 46:10a says, “Be still and Know that I am God…” We need to humble ourselves before Christ. James 4:10 says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.”

He may not always calm the storm around you, but He will always give you perfect peace if you lay it at the feet of Jesus. He is in control, He knows what is going to happen. He’s always known past, present, and future.
And no matter where you are He is there, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee…” It’s a promise.
We need to live for Christ because He died for us. We should want to grow in Christ more everyday. My challenge for whoever is reading this is that you read your bible everyday, even if it’s only for 5 min. 2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” I’ll be praying for you.
