How to Seek Peace of Mind

1

Surrender Your Circumstances and Your Understanding to the Lord: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil� This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones�” Proverbs 3:5-7

2

Let God’s Word Be the Loudest Voice in Your Life: “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night� That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.” Psalm 1:1-3

Renew Your Mind in God’s Will by Reading Scripture: “I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind� Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will ” Romans 12:1-2

Live by Jesus’ Strength, Not Your Own: “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty� I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want� I can do all this through him who gives me strength�” Philippians 4:12-13

WHATEVER IS TRUE, WHATEVER IS NOBLE, WHATEVER IS RIGHT, WHATEVER IS PURE, WHATEVER IS LOVELY, WHATEVER IS ADMIRABLE —IF ANYTHING IS EXCELLENT OR PRAISEWORTHY—
