We all need inward peace. This peace comes from the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. He wants us to be free from the control of worry. This is the devotion today, "Do Not Worry." Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Being a peaceful person doesn't happen overnight, just like being a worrier. Worriers have this mindset, "Why pray when you can worry?" But the calm person always thinks, "Why worry when you can pray?" Why worry when you can depend on God in your problems in school, family, marriage, work, ministry, and health? A peaceful person has a steady trust in God. However, an unshakable faith in God does not happen instantly. It starts with putting God first in your life (Matt. 6:33). And the best way to do this is to put God first every day by trusting and depending on His help and provision (v. 34). When you make this a daily habit, you render worry ineffective and powerless on each trouble you face. Why is being a worrier a habit developed in responding to a problem? In what way does daily trusting and depending on God’s help and provision break that pattern? When Christ dominates every aspect of your life, peace will hold and umpire your heart. Then trusting and thanking Him becomes a lifestyle, making you a peaceful person.  May the Lord grant you the grace to practice daily dependence and gratefulness to Him until you become a peaceful person. Amen.
