“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things.  Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice.  And the God of peace will be with you.”

-Philippians 4:8-9

A typical day… Your thoughts are tossed from here to there and everywhere.  Your emotions are a roller coaster ride – up and down – all over the place.  Your peace has totally exited the building and your attitude toward others around you is severely reflecting it.  You are left wondering to yourself, “When is this day going to end?!  I have had enough!  What more could possibly come my way today?!  I just want some peace!”  Just know that you are not alone.  Jesus has not left you and he understands every struggle you are going through because he endured much more for you on the cross!  Do you want to reclaim your peace today?  Instead of focusing on all your problems, choose to think about all the qualities of Jesus!   He is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy!  Make a determined effort to put everything you have heard from Jesus, everything he has taught you, and all of the qualities you have seen in him to practice in your own life and the God of peace will be with you wherever you are.
