Peace

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. (Isaiah 26:3)
   
   There have been many times, I must admit, that I have turned to this scripture for peace. It let's me know that, no matter what I am going through in life, all I need to do is keep my mind on Him and trust in Him - and He will give me the perfect peace that I need. 

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:6-8)

   God gave me this scripture about a year and a half ago. I was battling some stuff and He gave this to me. You may have heard that the mind is a great battlefield. It's true. The devil will put all these thoughts in our minds, but it is eventually up to us to decide if we are going to listen to those thoughts OR the thoughts that God is trying to put in our minds. I was going through a time when all I would dwell on would be the thoughts that the devil would put in my mind... and learning to think about what Philippians 4:8 tells us was the hardest thing for me to do. But, after making it a habit to think about the good things, etc...God will send the perfect peace that passes all understanding.
