When Anxious Thoughts Tie You in Knots By: Anne Peterson Do not be anxious about anything, 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 understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7 How do we face each day without worry and fear? What is the answer to our anxious thoughts? I don't want to give you a pat answer here. But I'm going to give you the only one I've found helpful. Prayer. And it's not even my idea, but it was from the Apostle Paul, who often was tempted to feel anxious. Paul, the one who would sing as he was shackled in prison, tells us how he found peace no matter what situation Paul found himself in. We go to God. In fact, the only one who doesn't want us to go to God in our anxiety is the enemy of our soul, Satan. He wants us to devour all the news we can till we find ourselves tied up in knots. And there we sit, paralyzed with fear of the unknown, and anxious thoughts that fly around our troubled heads like pesky gnats.   CONTINUE READING →

How to Be an Instrument of Peace This Election Season   Joël Malm As the tension grows in our country during this heated election season, other than the Lord's Prayer, I can't imagine a prayer more applicable to our current climate. It's far too easy to get swept up in the excitement (and sometimes frustration and anger) of politics and forget that, above all else, we are citizens of God's kingdom first—a kingdom ruled by the Prince of Peace. Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." (Matthew 5:9). There seems to be a special place in God's heart for those who choose to bring peace when strife is rampant. The Apostle James offered a powerful formula that I believe holds the key to being an instrument of peace when he said, "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires." (James 1:19-20)   He lays out three clear imperatives that can help us be used by God to bring peace right now.   CONTINUE READING →
