• “There are those who insist that it is a very bad thing to question God. To them, ‘why?’ is a rude question. That depends, I believe, on whether it is an honest search, in faith, for His meaning, or whether it is the challenge of unbelief and rebellion.” – Elisabeth Elliot

8 Ways to Lose Your Peace by Elisabeth Elliot

Published August 12, 2018 | By womenofchristianity

Resent God’s ways.

Worry as much as possible.

Pray only about things you can’t manage by yourself.

Refuse to accept what God gives.

Look for peace elsewhere than in Him.

Try to rule your own life.

Doubt God’s word.

Carry all your cares.

If you’d rather not forfeit your peace, here are eight ways to find it (antidotes to the above eight):

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them” (Psalm 119:165 KJV). “Circumstances are
the expression of God’s will,” wrote Bishop Handley Moule.

“Don’t worry about anything whatever” (Philippians 4:6, PHILLIPS).

“In everything make your requests known to God in prayer and petition with thanksgiving. Then the peace of God…
will guard your hearts” (Philippians 4:6,7, NEB).

“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me… and you will find rest” (Matthew 11:29, NIV).

“Peace is my parting gift to you, my own peace, such as the world cannot give” (John 14 27, NEB).

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts” (Colossians 3:15, NIV).

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing” (Romans 15:13, KJV).

“Cast all your cares on him for you are his charge” (1 Peter 5:7, NEB).

  • “But the misfortune is that people wish to direct God instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him. We wish to take the lead, and to follow in a way of their own selection instead of submissively and passively following where God sees fit to conduct them. And hence it is, that many souls who are called to the enjoyment of God himself and mot merely to the gifts of God, spend all their lives in pursuing and in feeding on little consolations.” – Madame Guyon

Verse of the Day

[Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection] Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.” — Matthew 20: 17-19 (NKJV)
