Day 8 of 41 Thank you Lord for giving me peace

While thanking God for the peace he has given me all this while, I was led to read Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)  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.

We all encounter situations and chances every day that have the potential to cause concern, anxiety, anguish, and a sense of powerlessness. Most of us pray to God in response to this and ask for His aid, peace, and intervention. We want to exchange our anxiety and concern for His serenity

Whitman Ministries in one of her publications wrote As we give God our thanks, He in turn gives us peace. And it is our continued praise and thanksgiving that keeps us in peace while the answer to our prayer is on the way. We don’t receive peace by giving God our problem. We receive peace by not only giving God the problem, but also giving Him thanks, by being grateful that He’s got it. It is when we give Him thanks that He then gives us peace. Peace comes after the thanksgiving and not before.



Looking to God, our ultimate source of 
benefits, rather than our present circumstances, whether they are blessings or 
problems, is necessary for sincere gratitude. When we can really see and touch God's 
benefits, such as food, money, clothing, 
good health, and family, it is simple to 
express gratitude

The peace of God is a gift to us and it is one beautiful blessing money cannot buy. Yes we can't touch it that's why most of us don't see the need to thank Him for the peace He gives. In order to sustain that peace, we much constantly give him thanks. 

Thank Him for the Peace He has given and is giving.

Day 1 of 30: God is My Portion

 A recent song has really hit me, “OLUWATOSIN, JESUS IS ENOUGH FOR ME.” Each time I listen, my heart whispers back, Yes, Lord, You are enough. We live in a world that constantly pushes us to want more—more success, more money, more recognition. But deep down, the only true satisfaction comes from God Himself. That’s why I’m starting this journey: 30 Days of “The Lord is Enough for Me.” Every day we will look at one truth about who God is—our portion, peace, strength, and joy. Come along, and let’s rest in Him together. Day 1: God is My Portion There are times in life when we feel like something is missing. Maybe it’s money, friends, success, or even peace. Sometimes our hearts whisper, “If only I had this or that, then I would be happy.”*But the truth is this—things fade, people change, and life is never perfect. Yet, in the middle of all that, there is one unshakable truth: God is enough. The Bible says in Lamentations 3:24: *“The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will ...

Day 3 of 30: The Lord is My Shepherd

Greetings to you Beloved, trust you are doing well today. We began this journey with “The Lord is my portion,” then “The Lord is my provider.” Today, we see another deep truth: The Lord is my Shepherd. Psalm 23:1 says, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” What a powerful promise! A shepherd’s job is to guide, feed, and protect the sheep. The sheep do not worry about the path, food, or danger—they only follow the shepherd. In the same way, God leads us, provides for us, and keeps us safe. Sheep cannot survive without a shepherd. They easily get lost, they cannot fight off wild animals, and they cannot find good pasture on their own. That’s exactly why God chose this picture for us. Without Him, we are lost. But with Him, we are safe. Jesus Himself said in John 10:11, “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” He not only leads us—He gave His life for us. That is how much He loves us. Sometimes, life feels like walking through a dark valley. We don...

Day 2 of 30: The Lord is My Provider

Beloved, trust you are doing well today.  We started yesterday with, “The Lord is my portion.” Today, we are going a step further: The Lord is my provider. I don't know if you did as I did yesterday, in my prayers throughout yesterday, I kept saying "THE LORD IS MY PORTION." Life can sometimes make us feel worried. The bills pile up, needs keep coming, and dreams feel far away. We wonder, “Will I ever have enough? Who will take care of me?” In the middle of these questions, God’s Word gives us a beautiful promise: Philippians 4:19 – “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Notice what the verse says—all your need. Not some, not a few, but all. This doesn’t mean God gives us everything we want, but it means He provides exactly what we truly need at the right time. He knows us better than we know ourselves. Think of a little child. A good parent makes sure the child has food, clothes, and shelter. The child doesn’t sit and wo...
