Peace in the Storm

-

So much is happening in our world today and much i'm sure is changing in your life. Through it all you may be struggling to hold on to peace in the midst of the storm. It's important in times like these (and in all times) to remember the promises of the Lord. Promises such as I will never leave you or forsake you. I come to declare to you today that you CAN have peace in the middle of a storm! Even though things are tough, maybe a bit rocky or to the point where it is out of your control, hold on to peace. Don't allow circumstances to disrupt the peace God has given you. Keep your heart and mind stayed on Jesus.

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you."
-Isaiah 26:3-

While it may be difficult to hold on to peace in the midst of turmoil and while signs of anxiety rear it's head, remember this: God is with you and He is always in control. Nothing you can be experiencing right now in life has caught God by surprise. So, we must safely trust that what God allows, he has already made provision for. God is ever faithful and true. And if you have walked with the lord for any amount of time, you know that he never fails. Hallelujah!

The peace that God gives surpasses all of our own understanding. It's not peace like man gives, it's an overwhelming, unexplainable peace that only comes from God. I'm talking about peace that you have in the midst of turmoil, that just makes no sense! Only God can do that for you. If you are struggling to find or receive that peace today, ask God for help, he is always there and ready to help you. 

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
-Philippians 4:7- (ESV)

You see, in order to be able to trust in the Lord you must know his character. We trust others based on their character. Has God not always been faithful? Has he not always been good? Has he not always provided or made a way for you? I can have peace in whatever I face knowing that the God I trust is with me, he helps me and is faithful to see me through.


Let's Pray! 

Father in the name of Jesus, I honor and praise you for you are the great God and you are greatly to be praised! Thank you father for the peace of God that surpasses all understanding in the name of Jesus! Lord God I trust you to keep me in perfect peace and I thank you for the supernatural peace of God that goes beyond my understanding in Jesus name! Lord, you are the prince of peace, so rest here Lord in my heart, in my mind and in my life in Jesus name. Lord, you are my God and in you do I safely trust. Now by the power and authority given unto to me by the blood of Jesus Christ my Lord, I speak peace to every situation, every circumstance, every trial in my life right now in the name of Jesus. I command PEACE to be still right now in Jesus name! Peace belongs to me, I seek it, I pursue it and I receive it NOW in Jesus name. Spirit of heaviness and depression I command you to leave me now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I belong to God! Mind, body, spirit and soul!! And it so and so it is, in Jesus name! Amen

Worried About Raising Children in THIS World?

With everything happening in the world these days it's easy to find yourself being worried about raising your children and them growing up in a world filled with so much hatred, violence and an evident lack of genuine love. The way we view the world now, as mothers, is probably much different than we have ever viewed the world around us.  Did anyone else view the world and things differently after becoming a mother? Now, instead of just you to think about you have a whole other life form (or in some cases multiple ones) to think about! I mean that's a tall order, you are responsible for another life! As if being responsible for your own wasn't difficult enough. You now have a new generation of other people to think about and that's deep. Then add on everything we have seen and experienced in the last year and the last few days going into the new year and well, my heart just crushes a  bit thinking about the future for our little ones. BUT.... When I cast my human flesh ...

Simple Strategies for Teaching Children to Manage Anger

-

Can we talk for just a moment about anger... It's on my heart and I'd like to have a real discussion about it. Not just anger in us as parents, but anger in our children. You see, I've come to realize that many adults are not aware of how to manage their anger, simply because they were never really taught how to when they were younger.  And so we have to vicious cycle of under managed and or mismanaged angry behaviors that just continue to repeat in us as adults and we pass it on to our children, and they pass it to their children and so on and so on.  Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. But many kids struggle to understand the difference between angry feelings and aggressive behavior. Frustration and anger can quickly turn into defiance, disrespect, aggression, and temper tantrums when kids don't know how to deal with their emotions. Often times when children are younger and they express a feeling of anger, we as the parent get upset ourselves at the little child  and ...
