The Wealth of Inner Peace
But godliness with contentment is great gain.—1 Timothy 6:6 (NIV)
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.—Colossians 3:1-2 (NIV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “The person who sends out positive thoughts activates the world around him positively and draws back to himself positive results.” Make a point turning your negative thoughts into positive affirmations. Instead of saying “my life is a mess” say, “with God’s help, I am making positive changes.”
Father God, guide me to see the world through a bright lens, to trust You and know that I am divinely protected and all is well.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.—1 Timothy 6:6 (NIV)
At midnight I rise to give you thanks for your righteous laws. I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts.—Psalm 119:62–63 (NIV)
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.—Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)
