Part of learning to live with a chronic illness is trusting God. When dealing with a protracted disease sometimes it is tough to maintain focus or have peace of mind. The person battling the ailment often finds themselves dwelling on what is happening to them physically, fiscally, and thinking if they’ll even have a future. It can be hard.
Today’s verse gives us hope as it tells us peace of mind is available. The way to peace is to focus on God, not your problem. It is to trust God.
Today’s Bible Verse:
Isaiah 26:3 (KJV), “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
What the Verse Means:
The key word is trust. We have a requirement to trust God. Trusting in God, that is when our mind is focused on Him, not our troubles, allows us to be kept in God’s perfect peace.
Personalized Prayer Using Today’s Scripture:
- Heavenly Father, help me to keep my mind steadfast on you.
- Thank you for the peace of mind that can only come from God.
- Lord Jesus, help me to take my refuge in you.
- God, I know you are my only hope in battling my chronic illness.
