*The Peace of God for Anxious Hearts*

There is a lot of anxiety and worry in the world around us. Many people are worried about the quality of their future, the security of their investments, or the threat of sickness or war.
Anxiety and worry aren't just things that happens around us, but something that can also happen within us. A lot of people struggle with anxiety over their future, their family, their finances, their career, or their personal health.
Scripture tells us that while there are some things that are within our control, most things in life are outside of our control. So more often than not, we spend time worrying about things we have no control over.

Scripture tells us that trust in God should fill the gap between reality and what we desire. We should not be anxious about the things we cannot control, but rather we should submit everything to God in prayer. He alone has control over the unknown.

That is why the writer of *Psalm 4* says that he will lay down at night in peace, free from anxiety and worry. Even though the writer is surrounded by danger, he places his trust in God. That leads him to sleep peacefully in safely.

The quality of our sleep is often a symptom of our trust in God. If we are anxious and restless at night, it could mean that there are things we’re not trusting God with.
Let's spend some time considering our own hearts. Are you anxious or filled with worry? Meditate on God’s power and sovereignty. Asking Him to fill us with His peace and assurance that He is in control of our future. Continually remind ourselves of the promises that God has given us in the Scripture.

*Prayer For Rest*
Father God, we can sleep peacefully because we know that You love us and care about our future. So right now, we surrender our concerns to You. Give us peace-filled rest, so we can rise joyfully and do all that You've called us to do. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.
