Our thoughts will translate into emotions that can drive us further away from God and the solution to our problems. So we capture the thoughts that are stressing us out, becoming aware of how they make us feel, then we pray for God’s insight and truth. Lastly, whether we understand or not, we release the thought, emotion and desire to God. This is where Faith shows it’s power. If we trust God, then we can trust Him with the stressful situation, and in exchange, we receive His peace instead. And having that relaxation in the midst becomes real in our lives, before the situation ever changes, if it will ever change.
We trust God to bring a resolution to the issue or to help us endure whatever comes…either way, we are better off because of it. Why? Because we stop allowing the outside to affect and infect us, stressing us out because we cannot control it. Instead we allow God’s Truth to affect and infect us, bringing us a steady stream of peace. Then hopefully, we can infect others with that peace too.
Again overflowing peace is real to us as we work with God like this, and grow to become more and more like Jesus. Then others can physically see what that looks like, and we can simply share with them what we are doing to have and remain in peace. Faith is infectious, my Friends, in the best way possible…problem is, fear is also infectious. Which will you CHOOSE to spread?
