Where to Go from Here

I’m so glad you have chosen to take part in this study! I don’t say this casually, but the principles I have shared in this study can truly change your life if you continue to apply them. You don’t have to be anxious and worried. God is offering you a better way—a life filled with His peace.

Anytime anxious or worried thoughts enter your mind, remember Philippians 4:6–7. Determine to be anxious for nothing. Pray immediately—don’t wait! Ask God to take care of the situation, and do it with a thankful heart for what He has already done in your life. As you do this, the peace that passes understanding will become yours.

It’s also important to remember that getting to this point is a process—you will have to be persistent and refuse to give up until peace is the normal condition in which you live. When I first made a commitment to stop worrying and have peace in my life, it was challenging because I was used to a life filled with anxiety and turmoil. But little by little, as I stood my ground, I enjoyed more peace and worried less.

I love Exodus 14:14. It says, The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest (AMPC). The enemy will definitely try to steal your peace, but you don’t have to let him succeed. You can choose to hold on to it. When you feel your peace slipping away and anxiety rushing in, stand firm and remember that Jesus has given you His peace (see John 14:27).

So, if you apply the lessons you’ve learned in this study a few times and feel like you’re not getting any results, don’t give up! Keep working at it, and each time you follow God’s prescription for peace, you will make more and more progress.

Remember, you don’t need to have all of the answers to your problems because God does have them…and He is fighting for you. God bless you!
