God’s Peace –

We’ll focus on this powerful, encouraging, hope-filled, promise-filled passage for the next several days. It’s a great one to memorize; it provides wisdom and guidance as to how to stop worrying, how to pray, and how to have God’s Peace! It’s a how-to verse for dealing with the stress of this life, our chronic propensity to worry, fret, and obsess. I’ve been ‘an expert’ on worry most of my life, but I’m finally gaining some freedom, and this passage is the key to that freedom!

Psalms 119:11 “I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” When we hide the Word of God in our hearts (through memorizing and thinking about it, we have strength to resist Sin!
