'You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]. Trust [confidently] in the Lord forever [He is your fortress, your shield, your banner], For the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages]. '
Isaiah 26:3-4
When you're faced with situations that get you frustrated and worked up, it can be challenging to have the peace of God is those moments. I had that issue this week and I was reminded of Isaiah 26. Anyone in Christ can have true peace by focusing their thoughts on Him and not on the situation that they are faced with. That doesn't mean that the situation will disappear all of a sudden, but you will operate from a place of complete trust in God. My prayer is that God will help you to keep your mind and heart stayed on Him no matter the situation that you are facing. God can be trusted with our all of our situations and trials. I trust you God.
Practice - Find scriptures that speak about God being faithful and keeping his promise and hold onto those scriptures when you feel your focus getting off of God. Repeat them to yourself daily.
