John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Do you know there's a right and wrong way to handle times of distress? I didn't know that until I became a Christian and began to learn that God's power and peace are available to me.
As a Christian, you have God's peace. He has bequethed it to you --- it is your inheritance. In addition, Luke 10:19 tells you He has given you power. Peace and power, what wonderful gifts.... and God gae them to you for a reason -- He wants you to use them.
If you haven't been putting these gifts to work in your life you're cheating yourself. So make a decision to start using them now. Don't waste you time whining, crying, or throwing a fit when problems come. Instead, calm down and think about the peace and power of God that are yours..... and then put them to work!
