True peace comes from knowing God is in control. ~ Peace Equals Power Quotes ~

There are many things in life that can make us lose our peace. We stress and worry about so many things. But when we stop and realize that God is in control we can relax and experience what true peace is.

Over the years we have moved many times. It can be stressful trying to sell a house. The phone rings asking to show the house! The anticipation that maybe this is the day the house will sell is exciting. Then the call comes that they aren't interested, or they didn't even show up. Believe me, these things can disrupt our peace.

After going through this cycle several times I learned to keep in mind that God is in control. If the house was meant to sell it would if not it wouldn't.

We've sold a few houses. Some took forever and some sold quickly. The one we're in now didn't sell at all when we listed it. Praise God it didn't because the out of state company Bill was working for went bankrupt and we needed to stay right where we were.

Our Bible verse says, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27 NIV

When we start to feel troubled and afraid we can remember that true peace comes from knowing God is in control.
