Do I face life’s trials and heartaches?
How can I remain peaceful in restless times ?
First I need to know the object of my affection. If I have drifted, I must go to HIM in prayer, confess and ask HIM to restore me.
Perhaps my life has gotten off course. I may find myself complaining to God and wishing that I were in a different set of circumstances. But I must remember that God has a plan for me right where I am. I learn as I grow through life’s difficulties, and God uses each one to teach me more about His faithful love and care.
2 Peter 3:14 - 18
So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote to you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever! Amen.
