Do you have peace of mind in these troubled times?

On the evening of September 11th, President Bush quoted from Psalm 23,
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.� In the midst of our sorrow and pain, political leaders, news commentators, and others have encouraged us to turn to prayer and the comforting words of Scripture. We have joined them in deepest sympathy for those who are suffering.

The dimensions of the horror and the problems to be solved are beyond human ability to understand. They cause us to seek God for help.

God offers a personal relationship with Him. We can know Him. Through His power we can experience His peace and hope.

Jesus said, “…My peace I give you! I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.�

We can only walk through the valley of the shadow of death without fear when we put our trust in God fully.

If it is the desire of your heart to find His peace, express these thoughts to God.

“Lord, I need you now more than ever. I want your peace of mind. In the midst of our broken hearts and pain, I turn to you. Jesus, I ask you to forgive my sins and to give me your peace and comfort. I open the door of my life and put my trust in you.”

If you sincerely expressed that prayer to God, you can know that you have a personal relationship with Him. He will be your comfort in these troubled times.
