Peace of Mind
It may seem rather simple to have peace of mind but daily this can be such a struggle for many, myself included. When it comes to decision making, problem solving, dealing with the numerous stressors we encounter on the daily, it is difficult to not fall into the deep end of despair or depression even.
I find myself focusing on the problem and forget to lean into the Problem Solver. The flesh response is to dwell on “how am I going to do . . . ” instead of “How is He going to . . . “
Let us remember that He cares for us, even in the tiny matters, and that He wants us to have peace of mind in ALL things. Not just the big issues or problems that will arise, in ALL things friend.
So grab a pen or pencil and take note of some of the Psalms that remind us of the PEACE that He so willing and freely offers to us.
1. Psalm 46:9-10 NIV
“He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.””
2. Psalm 4:8 NIV
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.”

“In his days may the righteous flourish and prosperity abound till the moon is no more.”
4. Psalm 34:18-22 NIV
“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. The LORD will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.”
5. Psalm 9:10 NIV
“Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.”
6. Psalm 116:1-7 NIV
“I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow. Then I called on the name of the LORD: “LORD, save me!” The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me. Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.”
7. Psalm 121:3-8 NIV
“He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you— the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
8. Psalm 27:1-4 NIV
“The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.”

14. Psalm 27:12-14 NIV

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.”
17. Psalm 46:1-3 NIV
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.”
18. Psalm 91:14-15 NIV
““Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.”
19. Psalm 103:8-12 NIV
“The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”
