Bible Promise (Perfect Peace)

Do you have peace in your life today? We are promised perfect peace in God’s word, but there’s a part we need to play to receive it. “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

He will fulfill His Promise.

Discover Jesus in His Word and in Prayer, Part 2

God loves when we talk to Him in prayer. No fancy words are needed. He just wants to be near our heart. Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him. Jesus taught His disciples how to pray. He told them to present their daily needs before God and to cast all their cares upon Him. The assurance He gave to them that their petitions would be heard, is assurance to us also. He longs for us to lift up our prayers and delight in Him each and every day. “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that’s if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” (I John 5:14)
