The Lord wants us to come into a calm state of heart and mind. So let us settle down in Him and hear what the Father has to say. Scripture for thought Proverbs 9:10-11 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. You will live longer because of me, and years will be added to your life. Names of God Bible (NOG) The Lord is working His will into our hearts that is why we need to calm down. Hebrews 13:20-21 20-21 I pray that the God of peace will give you every good thing you need so you can do what he wants. God raised from the dead our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of the sheep, because of the blood of his death. His blood began the eternal agreement that God made with his people. I pray that God will do in us what pleases him, through Jesus Christ, and to him be glory forever and ever. Amen. John 14:1-31 (27) Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid. New Living Translation (27)“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. Hebrews 12:1-4 (2) Berean Standard Bible Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author, and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (2)Berean Literal Bible looking to Jesus, the founder, and perfecter of our faith, who in view of the joy lying before Him endured the cross, having despised its shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (2)New Living Translation We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. Get your heart ready. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 (7) The secret power of evil is already working in the world, but there is one who is stopping that power. And he will continue to stop it until he is taken out of the way. Do let the day come and take us unaware. Lord help us to keep our minds on things above, where we are seated in Christ.
