I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (NLT)
You can go through life feeling emotionally flat and empty, or you can live with passion and excitement. The key is to get your heart convinced of God’s promises.
Actually, persuading your heart is the answer to every struggle you face.
When you find that you’re having trouble getting through each day, you need to get persuaded on the fact that you have immeasurable strength within you because Christ is in you. Meditating on Bible verses like Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) which says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” will increase your capacity to handle what you need to do each day.
If you can’t seem to relax because you’re worried and stressed out, get convinced of the strength, power, wisdom and guidance God has promised you. God’s Word says that He has empowered you. You have His strength. The more you see yourself as He sees you, the more peace you’ll experience.
This peace will cause you to repel the wrong people and attract the right ones. Even if “Chicken Littles” scream that the sky is falling, you won’t be on edge. You’ll begin to sense the right direction and know who to listen to. You’ll learn to walk through your life with confidence and a sense of calm, power and victory! Passion and joy will begin to bubble up from inside you and you’ll be excited to see which new doors will open up each day.
No matter what you’re facing, you can build strength and peace into your heart by getting convinced of God’s promises. Why not start today?
