Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are never too busy for me. In fact, You are my refuge and strength. You are my very present help in times of busy-ness and trouble (Psalm 46:1). Your Son, my Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, urges me to come unto Him when I labor and feel overburdened, because He will give me rest (Matthew 11:28). So I come, Lord Jesus, to find rest for my soul. For Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light (Matthew 11:29).
Things seem to keep me very busy lately, too busy to enjoy Your peace and listen to Your leading. And I don’t like it. For the fool is busy with evil (Isaiah 32:6). I do not want to be busy with my house and forget about You, Lord God (Haggai 1:9). I want to let the peace of Christ rule in my heart, since as a member of His body I am called to peace (Colossians 3:15). For You are not a God of disorder but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Lord, help me to keep my mind fixed on You at all times, because You promised to keep me in perfect peace when I keep my mind steadfast on You, because I trust You, Father (Isaiah 26:3). I seek Your guidance, Lord God, to help me arrange my priorities properly. You promised to instruct me and teach me in the way I should go, to counsel me and watch over me (Psalm 32:8). Please help me to think Your thoughts as I let the mind of Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 2:16) have its rightful authority in my life (Philippians 2:5). Your Word says the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace (Romans 8:6). So I will not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of my mind (Romans 12:2). Because You are my God and Deliverer; I will not let my heart be either troubled or afraid. This is possible only because Jesus has given me His peace (John 14:27).
I praise You, Lord God, Father in Heaven, that You have ordained peace for me (Isaiah 26:12). Therefore during this time of busyness, I will not be anxious about anything. Instead I will let all my requests be made known to You through prayer, with thanksgiving. Even as I pray, Lord, I can sense that You are giving me Your great peace – a peace that surpasses all understanding. Thank You for guarding my heart and mind through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
I love Your Word Father, and this brings great peace to my soul. Because of Your Word I know nothing can make me stumble away from trusting You (Ps 119:165). Please Lord, teach me to approach all my responsibilities from a spiritual perspective rather than a carnal mind, and guide me to live by the Spirit and not gratify my sinful nature (Galatians 5:16).
May the Lord of peace Himself give me peace at all times and in every way (2 Thessalonians 3:16), and sanctify me through and through so my whole spirit, soul, and body are kept blameless at the coming of my Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:23). For Christ Himself is my peace (Ephesians 2:14).
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.
God's Word on That
