You can still receive Peace even If you don’t know what’s Ahead
God can give you the peace that you need. He alone can pacify your troubled heart. Remember that He created you. That’s why He is aware of the things that you need in order for you to feel calm. So when you are not okay, and your mind can’t stop thinking about what tomorrow brings, then call upon God. Ask for His help, and He will be in the midst. He will give you the assurance that you need. Maybe you can’t live in peace because you chose to listen to the lies of the enemy. You no longer hear the voice of God because you allow your emotions to reign. Take a pause, and be still. Remind yourself that the God who created this universe is always with you.
You don’t have to find all the answers just to experience God’s peace. You may have a lot of questions in mind, but hearing His explanations won’t give you the assurance that you will eventually live a peaceful life. It’s not about knowing everything, but you will find rest the moment you trust in His great love for you. God’s presence is more than enough for you to live a meaningful life. If you only learn to stay still in His arms and remind yourself that He is more powerful than the giants that you face, then you will surely overcome the difficult season that you are in, even if you don’t know what’s waiting for you on the other side. What’s important is that God is walking with you along the journey.
Don’t dwell on your own understanding. Don’t trust your feelings. You can use it as a magnifier of what’s going on inside, but it’s not a reliable source of information. You need to treat God as your King and acknowledge His sovereignty in your life. Allow Him to reign. In such a way, you will also learn to seek His wisdom and instructions. Let Him give you the assurance that you need. Remember that God is all-knowing. He knows the best thing to do. It’s better to ask for help from Him than to rely on your efforts and strength. He alone can give you the right mindset toward the things that you experience.
Activate your faith. It’s actually a good thing that you didn’t see what’s ahead simply because you now have the opportunity to trust in Him despite your fears. Faith will never exist if you already know what will happen next. You need to learn how to abide in His presence even in moments when you don’t know what’s going on. You need to surrender in order for you to receive the peace that you are looking for. You can always find rest in His arms. Just humbly acknowledge His will and hold His hands.
