7 And the peace of God, which
transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus.
وَسَلاَمُ اللهِ، الَّذِي تَعْجِزُ الْعُقُولُ عَنْ
إِدْرَاكِهِ، يَحْرُسُ قُلُوبَكُمْ وَأَفْكَارَكُمْ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.
Philippians 4:7
Did you ever find yourself not at peace with God?
Although many may frown at this question, I admit there have been times when I
have not been at peace with God. There are some questions to which I do not
know the answers to, at the present time, and sometimes keeps me from being at
peace with God. I need to realize that He may or may not reveal His answers to
me, and even if He does, I may not understand because:
"My
thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways
are far beyond anything you could imagine”.
Isaiah 55:8
Lasting peace cannot be attained through our own
efforts, but rather through Christ in us. The peace that comes from Him is
eternal. Our bond with Him is the foundation
upon which real peace is built. I believe
that in order to experience the peace of God we need first to be at
peace with God.
“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.”
«أخبَرتُكُمْ بِهَذا لِكَي يَكُونَ لَكُمْ
سَلامٌ مِنْ خِلالِي. سَتُواجِهُونَ ضِيْقاً فِي العالَمِ، لَكِنْ تَشَجَّعُوا
فَأنا قَدِ انتَصَرتُ عَلَى العالَمِ.»
John 16:33
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your deep,
everlasting, and inseparable love for me. Lord,
I want to experience Your true peace. Thank You Jesus that You have overcome
the world. I ask You God to expose anything within me that may be preventing me
from being at peace with You and heal it so that I can receive the true and
everlasting peace that only You can give. Thank You God that Your peace, which transcends all understanding, will guard my heart and mind
in Christ Jesus. Thank You Lord that through the atoning blood of Jesus I am without spot
and blameless in Your eyes. Father I rejoice in Your grace and faithfulness. I
praise You, glorify You, and lift You up on high. I pray in the name of The
Prince of Peace Jesus Christ, to Jesus be the glory, the power, the dominion, the majesty, and the
blessings before all time, now, and forever. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
