In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Look about you. Everything you see speaks of a Great Designer. We were meant to live lives of purpose and joy.
God says He loves you with an everlasting love. He says don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in Him. Cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you.
We were meant to always be one with God and enjoy peace with Him and each other but mankind chose unbelief and distrust and disobedience. God did not abandon us. We abandoned Him. The prophet Isaiah says we are all like sheep that go astray. We turn each one to his own way but the Lord laid on Him, Jesus, the iniquity of us all. He Himself bore our sin in His own body on the tree that we being dead to sin might live.
God’s plan, even before creation, has always been to restore relationship with Him and give us back the life we lost. God wants to take the broken pieces of our lives and make us whole. He says if you choose to accept His forgiveness through the price Jesus paid on the cross for your debt He will give you a makeover. If anyone is in Christ he is a new creation. Old things are passed away. Everything has become new. And that’s just a start. He baptizes you in His Holy Spirit placing His genetic code in you. He adopts you and invites you to call Him daddy. He says come to me with all your problems and I will give you rest.
This is one of my favorites. I have it printed out and taped to my monitor.
I am so glad. Thoughts about God’s passionate love for us and delight in us , His plans for us that are to bless and fill our lives with good things are worthy of our thoughts. They fill our days with hope and joy and purpose. Have a great day !
Thank you for this. I am feeling lost and hopeless. This helps.

Have you done this Remy? Have you received Jesus’ forgiveness for your sins? This is the true and only path to peace. The only peace your need. Peace with God. Know God has your back. He knew you and loved you and made a way for you to always be right with Him by taking the punishment for sin you owed and placed it on Jesus. There is nothing you could ever do that would ever make God love you less or love you more. Just put your trust in Jesus and you will be just fine. He said “cast your care on Him because He cares for you”. Jesus said “Let not your heart be troubled, just believe in God and believe in Me”
