Do Not Be Anxious About Anythingಮಾದರಿ

Let Peace Rule

Scripture:

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Colossians 3:15 NIV

Reflection:

Every day, you have a choice. It’s like a private election in your heart, and the candidates are Peace and Anxiety.

Anxiety campaigns hard. It shouts fear, pushes worst-case scenarios, and promises control (but never delivers it).

Peace, on the other hand, speaks quietly. It reminds you that God is in control and that you’re safe in His hands.

Colossians 3:15 says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts…” That means you get to decide who rules.

You cast your vote — not with a ballot, but with your thoughts, your focus, and your trust. And when you choose peace, you’re choosing to believe that God’s presence is bigger than your problem.

So have your morning election. And every time anxiety tries to take over, recast your vote.

Journaling Prompt:

Who’s been ruling your heart lately? Peace or Anxiety?

What’s one practical way you can “vote for peace” today (e.g. worship, Scripture, quiet time)? Let the Holy Spirit lead you and show you what to do.

Prayer:

Jesus, let Your peace rule in my heart. Push out all anxiety. Amen.

Practical Tip:

Create a “Vote for Peace” Poster to remind you of the promises that comes when Peace rules your life. Put it somewhere you can see it every morning to remind you to elect Peace as your personal president.
