You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trust in You. Isaiah 26:3. When something in our thoughts or life makes us anxious and worried God says come to Me with prayer, petition, and thanksgiving! Although it is hard at times to do so in the midst of difficulties, we can say: “Thank you, Jesus, for this opportunity to trust you all the more.” Through lessons of trust in the Lord to “show up” in the midst of life’s challenges, our trust becomes well-developed and will bring us many blessings, not the least of which is God’s peace. The world says that peace comes with possessions, a very strong financial portfolio, insurance, and systems of security. Yet God promises to give us His peace that is independent of our circumstances. I am learning this now as we navigate through tough economic times. God will prove Himself to be our sure foundation and refuge because He has promised He will never forsake us. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you as well.
“IF THE VESSEL OF OUR SOULS IS STILL TOSSED WITH WINDS AND STORMS, LET US AWAKE THE LORD, WHO REPOSES IN IT, AND HE WILL QUICKLY CALM THE SEA.”
Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection (1606-1691)
The Mission for Prayer For The Harvest Ministries is to encourage and assist the body of Christ corporately and in their personal lives to come back to our first love, Jesus Christ, through the teaching of God’s Word and the literal doing of crying out to God in prayer. Psalm 127:1 "Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain."
