Jehovah-Shalom (God of Peace)
Peace: having quietness and confidence (forever).
"To obey is better than sacrifice"
One consequence of disobedience: a lack of peace in your life
peace of mind IS possible in the midst of your trials.
Trials happen because: circumstances, people, and problems
Path to peace: Let go, Trust
Peace does not come with answers-God doesn't owe you any explanation.
Benefits to Peace: Physical health, Psychological health, Relational health, and Spiritual health
To find forgiveness: pray, empathize, act, then confess
Act on reparation with no expectations-you are ONLY responsible for YOU.
Be safe while forgiving-BOUNDARIES.
Don't compromise boundaries
Confess: not:"if I have done something", own it: "I have done something"
If you want joy, chase peace.
Put your truth into practice. And the peace of God will be with you.
God is not a God of disorder, but of peace.
In this world you will have trouble-but Jesus overcame the world so you can, too. It's the unfailing promise.
Seeing how God was there even when its impossible to see how he was there. I need something tangible to hold onto. All I see is the contradiction in scripture. He can move mountains, but he couldn't help me? How do I figure out what I need to figure out?
