THE 12th OF JANUARY
BY FAITH THE HOLY SPIRIT FILLS US WITH ALL JOY AND PEACE
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. – Romans 15:13
Most of us wake up with the desire to have a great day! As believers, we start by praying to the Lord to help us to not sin, be kind, nice to others and to have peace and joy in Him. But the joy of a new day, perfectly planned, is often short lived, mostly until we get out of bed and see something wrong or until someone else ruins our plans. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
For our joy to last, we must be willing to fight to keep it. The stronger our faith in Jesus is, the more peace and joy we will have. We have to pay attention to the thoughts that rob us of our peace. We need to solve the real and urgent ones and not waste ourselves on futile thoughts. In so doing, we will have more peace than we have ever had.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Dear Lord, please fill me with Your Holy Spirit, so that I will have true peace and joy. Help me to be more sensitive to Your warnings, to resist all the thoughts from the evil one, to identify and oppose anything that can steal my peace without reason and not worry about what I cannot change. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen
