Grounded in God’s Peace (2)
Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional
Date: Friday, 23 January 2026
Topic: Grounded in God’s Peace (2)
Focus: Choosing Peace Over Anxiety
🔥Theme:
The new year can bring excitement, pressure, uncertainty, and expectations all at once. God does not promise a life without challenges, but He promises peace that guards the heart and mind. This devotional series focuses on learning how to stay grounded in God’s peace—choosing calm over chaos, trust over anxiety, and faith over fear. As you walk through these days, you will learn how to carry God’s peace into everyday moments and remain steady no matter what the season brings.
📖 Key Verse:
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:7
Devotional:
Anxiety often comes from focusing on what might go wrong. Peace comes from trusting God with what we cannot control. Every day, we are given a choice—to dwell on worry or to rest in God’s peace. Philippians 4:6 invites us to bring everything to God in prayer instead of carrying anxiety alone. When we do, God exchanges our worry for His peace. This does not mean challenges disappear, but it means they no longer rule our hearts.
📖 Scripture Reading:
- Philippians 4:6 — Pray instead of worry
- Matthew 6:34 — Trust God with today
- Psalm 55:22 — Cast your cares on the Lord
💧 Refreshing for the Day:
Peace grows when we turn our concerns into prayers. Anxiety fades when trust takes its place. Choosing peace is not ignoring reality—it is choosing faith over fear. Peace becomes possible when worry is handed over to God. Stay Refreshed!
✨ Note This:
🌿 Peace begins where prayer replaces anxiety.
🛡️ Responsibility:
When worry rises today, pause and pray before reacting.
🙏 Prayer:
Father, I bring my worries to You today. Help me choose peace over anxiety and trust You with every concern on my heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
🔥 Prophetic Declaration:
I choose peace over anxiety. God’s peace fills my heart and steadies my mind today. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
