Do you know what it’s like to do everything you can to be happy, but nothing ever works? Perhaps you cannot even remember the last time you had peace of mind. It has been one problem after the other; one negative thought after the other, and now you cannot even remember what it feels like to be happy.

When we are seeking for something that we cannot find, we become desperate. And in many cases, many people are desperate for peace. Desperate for a fresh start, for a new beginning…but unfortunately, they have been hitting a dead-end time after time. What are some examples of this dead-end? They are seeking for peace in your friends, in your relationship, at the nightclubs, parties, drugs, and alcohol, etc., the list can go on and on.

The true peace that your soul is desperate for, is not the peace that can be found on the outside, with worldly, material things. True peace comes from God. He is the ONLY One that can give you peace.

If you do not seek Him with all of your heart, with all of your strength and with all of your sincerity, you will try time and again, but you will never have true peace.

The Word of God teaches us that you shall,

“Cast your burden on the LORD and He will sustain you. He will never permit the righteous to be moved.” (Psalm 55:22)

So in other words, give Me your worries, your problems and I will give you My peace! When you surrender yourself to God and obey His commandments, you turn into this “righteous that He will never permit to be moved.” And you will no longer remember the moments of pain, you will no longer look for peace in the wrong places because the true peace will be inside of you!

May the God of the Bible bless you
