March 1 Devotional

Dear Friends,
Each week, I am sent pages of prayer requests from our church family and friends associated with our church family.  The Open Door Prayer Ministry does an outstanding job of keeping track of all the requests that come in and being faithful prayer warriors for each person listed.  I just read the prayer requests today and sent them on to my staff for them to read and pray over as well.  Many times, the requests are a bit overwhelming.  So much pain, suffering and even death are listed on those pages.  Yet, through it all, we know that God is with us and in that, we can find peace and reassurance.  I pray this for you today and every day as you embrace life from a Christ-centered, soul-anchored, joyful spirit.

When Something In Your Life Or Thoughts Makes You Anxious, come to Me and talk about it. Bring me your prayer and petition with thanksgiving, saying: “Thank You,Jesus, for this opportunity to trust You more.” Though the lessons of trust that I send to you come wrapped in difficulties, the benefits far outweigh the cost.

Well-developed trust will bring you many blessings, not the least of which is My Peace. I have promised to keep you in perfect peace to the extent that you trust in Me. The world has it backwards, teaching that peace is the result of having enough money, possessions, insurance, and security systems. My Peace, however, is such an all-encompassing gift that it is independent of all circumstances. Though you lose everything else, if you gain My Peace you are rich indeed.

Philippians 4:6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Isaiah 26:3You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trust in you.
