Pray for peace and contentment. His peace will guard your hearts and mind. Pray about everything. Fix your thoughts on Jesus. When temptations arise think about Jesus on His cross.
Resist is the wrong word. Replacing and refocusing is what we need to have the habit of doing. Always learn better ways to fight temptation. Wise people learn and store up knowledge. Hosea 4:6 says: My people are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge.
If I always pray to be more filled with peace and love, what don’t I have time for? Satan really doesn’t have time to try to tempt a person when they are busy doing what God wants them to do.
Matthew 5:9 ESV
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
When we pray and focus on peace we start to be blessed. Then we understand that life is better God’s way.
2 Thessalonians 3:16 ESV
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.”
Repent, give thanks, then ask for peace. If we have perfect peace the need for satan’s silliness starts to decrease.
Isaiah 26:3 ESV
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
This week was tough for me, and my challenges are not over. But, now I am going to add this verse to the verses I meditate on so that I will increase in peace and contentment.
