My word to you is PEACE!!!
((I added a bit more to share what GOD says))
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3
Discouragement goes if you mind is stayed.. focused on JESUS.. GOD..
Peace is much more then a feeling.. in Hebrew it means.. Found this on Wikipedia..
In Hebrew, the root of the word (always in a three letter format), and depending on the vowels that are used, has several meanings (that are relevant to the general meaning of the word Shalom); as for example: One meaning is
"Whole", another could be the actual verb
"Pay" usually in command form. The conjugated verb has other spins that are worth noting, such as: "Hishtalem" meaning
"it was worth it" or "Shulam" as "it was paid for" or "Meshulam" as in
"paid in advance." Hence one can jokingly say that, "when it's paid-for then there is peace," as in
PEACE HAS A PRICE.
Wow that wasn't even a christian place.. this speaks to me too..
GODS peace is whole and makes us whole.. wouldn't you say.. JESUS paid for your peace on the cross..
It was worth it.. HE gave HIS life..
HE paid for everything.. past, present and future.. everything.. so nothing that stands against us can defeat us..
So that today you could have peace.. in your situation..
No matter what is robbing you.. JESUS provided the answer.. peace is yours..
He was wounded for our rebellious acts. He was crushed for our sins. He was punished
so that we could have peace, and we received healing from his wounds. Isaiah 53:3
Never worry about anything. Instead, in every situation let your petitions be made known to God through prayers and requests, with thanksgiving.
Then God's peace, which goes far beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your hearts and minds in union with the Messiah Jesus.
Philipians 4:6-7
