God gives His Peace

We can have peace no matter what we are facing in life. God says we can bring our worries to Him in prayer. There are a lot of things in life that causes us to worry. Many people are in between jobs and the future has uncertainty, health issues don’t go away as the years go by, friends and family members pass on. Children or grandchildren are facing their own battles that can cause worry in our lives. All these things add up and can steal our peace and joy in our life.

God didn’t intend for us to live our lives with these events weighing us down and taking a way our peace and joy. God doesn’t promise us we won’t have these life events, He tells us we will have trials and tribulations. But He does say that we can still have peace and joy. Our peace and joy do not depend on our circumstances, but on our relationship with Christ. Our joy and peace come from the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5.

Galatians 5: 22-23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Whenever you bring your anxieties to God in prayer, He provides His surpassing peace, and it creates an impenetrable wall that guards our hearts and minds. This is a promise that God gives us in His Word.

Philippians 4:6-7

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, it is so vital for a Christian to start their day in prayer. Turn whatever is causing anxiety in your life over to God.

Message in Chinese

以下是中文翻译，保持原文的语气与意义清晰、自然：

上帝赐下祂的平安

无论我们在人生中面对什么，都可以拥有平安。上帝说，我们可以在祷告中将忧虑带到祂面前。生活中有许多事情会让我们担心：许多人处在工作转换期，对未来感到不确定；随着年龄增长，健康问题仍然存在；朋友和家人相继离世；孩子或孙子女也面临他们各自的挑战，而这些都会成为我们忧虑的来源。所有这些事情累积起来，会夺走我们生命中的平安与喜乐。

上帝并不希望我们在这些事件的重压下生活，让它们带走我们的平安与喜乐。上帝并没有应许我们不会遇到人生中的困难，相反，祂告诉我们会经历试炼与患难。但祂也应许我们仍然可以拥有平安与喜乐。我们的平安与喜乐并不取决于环境，而是来自我们与基督的关系。我们的喜乐与平安源自圣灵的果子，如加拉太书 5:22-23 所说：

22 圣灵所结的果子，就是仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实，23 温柔、节制。这样的事没有律法禁止。

每当你在祷告中将焦虑交托给上帝，祂就赐下超越一切的平安，为你的心思意念筑起一道不可攻破的保护墙。这是上帝在祂的话语中给我们的应许。

腓立比书 4:6-76 应当一无挂虑，只要凡事藉着祷告、祈求和感谢，将你们所要的告诉上帝。7 上帝所赐、那超越人所能理解的平安，必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心怀意念。

因此，基督徒每天以祷告开始新的一天极其重要。把生命中让你焦虑的一切交托给上帝。
