The bible tells us to "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (Jn14:27) These are the words of Jesus, no less. My pastor mentioned this as one of those things that only I can do for myself. No one else can "let not my heart be troubled" for me. Only I can.
Well, how do I let not my own heart be troubled? That is a question I needed an answer for. Sometimes, forcing out the action just doesn't work. You can tell yourself, don't be troubled, don't be troubled, but how do you not be troubled when no one else is fixing what needs to be fixed?
My answer came last week while reading our church daily devotions on Phil 4:6-7. Ah-ha! There is the answer! Be anxious for nothing (No Thing!), but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God (not my own peace forced out of myself) , which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
So, here's how I let not my heart be troubled. By not being anxious but praying for and thanking God for every situation I am in to turn out good! The result is the peace of God guards my heart for me, not letting it be troubled. My part is to tell God about the situation, He will guard my heart.
Hallelujah! Thank you Lord that you guard my heart.
