The world is a mess and Satan is trying to take us all to a place of worry and fear, but God wants to offer us confidence and peace. He wants us to experience His peace over panic.
Isaiah 26:3-4 says:
“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.”
Isaiah 26:3-4, New Living translation
When you’re having anxiety about a situation or an emotional challenge, God tells you that He’s always by your side. Even when friends, family members, or co-workers disappoint you, He’s still right there with you. Some of your most painful moments in life can also be your closest times with the Lord. So have confidence knowing that God has gone before you and will work everything together for your good. You can experience peace over panic.
In John 16:33 in the New Living Translation, Jesus says, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
The power of Satan was defeated when Jesus died on the cross. Jesus defeated the power of sin and death through His own sacrificial death, ensuring that death would not have the final say. He overcame death. When times are hard, when we need peace over panic, we can be confident because the hard times are temporary. Our peace is in Jesus and what He did to give us abundant life.
Thank You, Jesus, that You are near when I need You the most. When I’m in the middle of trials and hardships, let me feel Your presence near me. Stir my heart with Your Spirit to remember Your promises, Your faithfulness, and Your triumph over Satan and death. I ask for confidence from this day forward and the peace of Jesus, in whose precious name I pray. Amen.
