Hearts

During our times of prayer and praise, what is the posture of our hearts?

If you are running away from God it’s time to stop and turn your heart back to him.

He alone fills our fearful and unsettled hearts with peace and joy.

Each part of temptation is dangerous enough. Don’t let them add up to sin.

The Holy Spirit lives within each believer to guide us by means of Scripture, circumstances, godly counsel from godly friends, and his voice speaking within our hearts.

Ask God for you to be an instrument of his peace.

Ask God to allow you to experience his presence and strength.

God is God! Sometimes his ways and timing are not completely understood. But even when we might not feel vindicated in real-time, we will eventually because what others mean for evil, God, in His timing, can turn it for good (Gen. 50:20).

We can fill our hearts with fear convincing ourselves that Jesus doesn’t care. Or we can trust Him to calm the storm or calm us in the storm. I know it’s easier said than done, but those are our choices - fear or faith. It’s an easy answer; it’s a hard application. Let’s pray for His help.
