ASK GOD FOR IT

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: ASK GOD FOR IT

If we want God's peace, we need to ask for it
Again, Paul tells us, "Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:6-7).

Notice the order - first prayer and then peace. There's a cause and effect relationship here. Prayer is the cause; peace is the effect.
If you're not praying, you're likely to be worrying.
And worry is such a useless emotion, such a waste. Worry is the opposite of peace; they cannot coexist.

What do you need to ask of God now? Do you need to ask him to come into your life so that you may experience peace with God? Do you need to ask him to control your life so that you can experience the peace of God?

You will not experience true or lasting peace until Jesus Christ is in charge of your life. Peace, remember, is not a trouble-free life; it's a sense of calm in the midst of life's storms.

What is robbing you of peace today? Is it guilt? Turn to God for forgiveness? Is it worry? A job change? Finances? Major surgery? A difficult person?
You can talk to Christ about all of these things and anything else that is bothering you.

The God of all peace wants to give you peace and he is here now ready to make that gift to you. Will you accept it?

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, I ASK THAT YOU ENTER IN TO OUR HEART WITH YOUR PEACE IN JESUS NAME.
