Our God is Greater

Ear to the phone, I was listening to my worried daughter talk about feeling like the enemy has control right now.  What can we do? It seems like he's getting stronger and stronger, she said. She is worried for her generation, for her friends who don't take God seriously right now. So many people following the wrong path...

The one thing the enemy wants us to do is to feel defeated....to see how strong he seems to be.

Then an answer so simple, it doesn't seem possible. One of those "do this, not that" Bible verses...full of wisdom. And it comes with a powerful promise...


Don’t worry about anything; 
instead, pray about everything. 

Tell God what you need, 
and thank him for all he has done.  

~Then you will experience God’s peace, 
which exceeds anything we can understand.~

***His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.***
 
 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. 

Fix your thoughts on -----> what is true, and honorable, 
and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. 
Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. \O/
Philippians 4:6-8 (NLT)


...umm, emphases mine.  (in case you wondered)

She sounded much better, light of heart....peace-filled even... when we said good-bye.
Tried and true, that is my favorite Scripture. Thank you Lord, for the Scripture and how You fill each word of it with Your Presence and power.
