*RESTORATION TODAY*
*TUESDAY 1ST AUGUST 2017*
*BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.*
*THEME: LIVING IN PEACE*

_"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14: 27._

Peace is one of the most important elements to enjoying your life. A life of frustration and struggle, a life without peace, is the result of focusing on things you can't do anything about. When you worry about things beyond your control, stress and anxiety begin to creep into your life.

The apostle Paul said, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus?. (Philippians 4: 6 - 7).

Once we realize we are struggling with something and feel upset, we need to start praying and immediately turn the situation over to God, thankful He will provide according to His will and offer us peace. You and I are not called to a life of frustration and struggle. Jesus came so we could have righteousness, joy, and peace!
