The Path to Personal Peace
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! (Isaiah 26:3 NLT)
If you want to overcome fear and worry, then you need right thinking. In other words, think about what you think about.
We're told in Philippians 4:8, "Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise" (NLT). If you want personal peace, this is where it begins.
Why is the mind important? It's command central. With our minds we reach to the past through memories, and we reach to the future through imagination. We need to learn how to think properly and biblically. As 2 Corinthians 10:5 says, "We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ" (NLT). |

Here are 7 beautiful things God is working for good in your waiting. |

Should Coronavirus Stop Us from Going to Church? |
|
Alicia Purdy |
By now you've heard of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and, depending on what you're reading or listening to, you may be struggling with questions about how best to protect yourself and your family.
If you or someone in your life is immunocompromised or elderly or very young, the risks are higher, which makes things even more intense. Situations like these leave us wondering: Is the virus spread through the exchange of money? Or boxes from Amazon? Or the guy next to you on the bus? The person next to you just sneezed, should you stay calm and pray or spray yourself with Lysol? Do you need a mask?
If you walk in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, He will surely guide.
