The fear of the Lord leads to life. Then one rests content, untouched by trouble.
--Proverbs 19:21
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
--Psalm 27:14
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
--Matthew 11:28-30
As you read this, take a moment and ask yourselves the following questions: Am I at peace? If I am, what do I attribute this peace to? Am I restless? What about? Should I be restless? Where can I find rest? Where will I find rest?
In faith, be at peace. Receive it from Jesus Christ.
“Peace, I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
--John 14:27
