Turmoil or Peace?

What are you choosing?

Hey, my friend,

How’s life?

How are you feeling?

Whether or not you’re in the USA, you may be experiencing loads of anxiety.

Is fear trying to suffocate you?

Listen, there is so much going on in the world right now. 2020 has been one challenge after another. 

We have been dealing with an illness that we’d never heard of before earlier this year. We’ve lost loved ones. We’ve lost jobs. We’ve been separated from each other. We’ve seen our country divided over issues that are beyond heartbreaking. We have severe political division. 

Despair and doom and gloom are everywhere we turn.

Maybe you’re facing some things that don’t even have anything to do with COVID and the circumstances related to the pandemic. Maybe you’re facing other health concerns, family problems, marriage issues, financial struggles. 

Maybe you are a single mom who feels totally alone. Maybe you’re trying to homeschool for the first time and find yourself overwhelmed more often than not. 

I know it would be easy to collapse in the face of all the angst and turmoil. Sometimes the fear feels like too much.

I get it! This year has been wacky, challenging, and has just seemed like a little too much for me, at times, too. 

But I’m here to tell you, there is another way! It’s a new month (Happy November!) and what better time to discover you don’t have to live according to what fear mandates! Dread and anxiety do not have to rule your life!

There is a path to peace.

Isn’t that good news? The best news?! 

It would honor me to introduce you to the Prince of Peace: Jesus, the King of Kings!

Do you know Him? If not, I want you to know my Saviour, my Redeemer, my Hope, my Source of life and peace and abundance.

He is THE answer to all this turmoil, all the challenges, all the uncertainty, all the fear. He doesn’t just offer us His peace.

He IS Peace. 

In the Bible, we read of the foretelling of Jesus the Messiah’s birth in Isaiah chapter 9  . . . 

A child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. The responsibility of complete dominion will rest on his shoulders, and his name will be: The Wonderful One! The Extraordinary Strategist! The Mighty God! The Father of Eternity! The Prince of Peace!

Great and vast is his dominion.

    He will bring immeasurable peace and prosperity.

 

In Jesus’ own words in John chapter 16 . . .

And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world!

 

If you don’t know Him but you want this peace, stop right now and talk to Him. He is listening. Always. He loves you and His love is immense and immeasurable! He wants to have a relationship with you. He is just waiting for you to give your life to Him. 

He is waiting to be the Peace that you’re longing for. 

Talk to Him now. 

You will be absolutely amazed at the incredible Peace that He brings. 

Just look at what Philippians 4:7 says:

If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.

You’re standing at the crossroads, and it’s time to choose: turmoil or peace. 

Do you want to continue down the depressing, life-sucking road you’ve been on? The one that gets you nowhere? The one that makes you want to give it all up? 

This is the most important decision of your life. It will change everything.

Please let me know if you’ve made this life-altering choice. I want to celebrate with you!

Thinking of you,

Scarlett xo
