Struggling

Philippians 4:6-8 #4
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things



I was thinking how so much bad news i here in the newspaper or to say online news , Even the Tv News and sometimes we get so focus on these things and it effects our minds to negative thinking
next thing it effect other peoples lives we are close to .
Sometimes we struggle with sin and which is another issue in our lives because of the things of this world surely effects our live . I Found peace in the verse whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.
Think on the word of God which is lovely and pure and then your thoughts are in a very good place . The word of God says we are in the world but not of this world and God made a way for us to follow him if we would just give him a chance too.

Jeremiah 29:11 says For i know the thoughts that i think towards you, says the lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil , to give you a future and a hope."



Quote for today

Hope in God's promises, therefore, is not a wishful longing but a faith-filled confidence for the future. It is simply impossible to trust one of God's promises and not anticipate its coming true. To know God is to trust Him. And to trust God is to trust His promises. And to trust God's promises is to be sure of their fulfillment. This assurance concerning the future, anchored in God's promises, is what the Bible calls "hope."
