Protect Your Peace... Here are some ways to do so...

Jesus promised to give you peace, not as the world gives, but as He gives. Inner peace is something that can not be purchased or earned, but it is a gift from God. Listed are some ways you can guard your peace, in the midst of distress:

1) Place your full trust in Jesus Christ- He is your security and shield.
2) Trust that God is in Sovereign Control of all things, this can remove any fear and anxiety you may feel. (God can cause, allow, and prevent things from happening).
3) Trust God to supply and meet your daily needs. Do not worry, or carry around daily burdens of such things).
4) Have a clear conscience, this shields and protects peace within our mind.( Helmet of Salvation).
5) Accept yourself the way God uniquely created you. (Everyone is gifted with certain spiritual abilities). Do not envy or idolize others, ex: Some people are gifted to paint, play the piano, etc.).
6) Believe that God created you with a purpose in life. This will protect you from the plague of emptiness.(Jesus fills your heart).
7) Sense of competency, will protect you from sense of failure due to overwhelming sense of inadequacy. (God will always equip you for what He called you to do). God qualifies the called!
8) Sense of belonging will shield you from the feeling of rejection. Surround yourself with people who will uplift you, not degrade you. (You have Jesus who loves you unconditionally, and is your ever present help, the Holy Spirit will also help you to love yourself.
