Anxiety & Peace

Anxiety is an enemy that waits at the door, even pounds at the door. But it will only come in if you open to it and cater to it. Anxiety will lie and tell you that somehow you can have control if you make a little more effort. But it will always require one thing from you - 
your rest. 

Peace is a friend that comes gently and speaks truth. It won't require your rest like Anxiety does. Instead it gives rest, but does requires this: surrender and trust. Peace will never lead you to believe that you are in control of any circumstance you are in. 
Peace will only speak these words, "Be still, and know that I am God." 

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. 
2 Thessalonians 3:16 NLT

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Isaiah 26:3 NLT

"I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." John 14:27 NLT

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in our hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. Colossians 3:15 NLT

Be still, and know that I am God! Psalms 46:10 NLT
