One
of the blessings of living in daily fellowship with God is developing a settled
heart. You realize your salvation is accomplished and complete. You recognize
how many things are beyond your control. And you begin to understand that
trusting Him is a lot more effective than fretting and losing sleep. He takes
care of you either way. So why waste the nervous energy?
Inner
peace is not a formula. It's not treating God like a good-luck charm. It's
about spending time reading His Word. Praying when you could be listening to
sports radio. Talking to Him instead of talking to yourself. Relationship, not
ritual. Try it consistently for a month, and you'll look back a few weeks from
now amazed at the amount of perspective and security He's given you. You'll be
more like a [person] who has "no fear of bad news," whose "heart
is steadfast, trusting in the Lord" (Psalm 112:7).
