Jesus told us in the book of John 16 vs 33: In the world we shall have tribulation. The World is filled with chaos and uncertainty but where or who do we turn to for solace?
The answer to this lies in the words of Jesus, he said be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. This word has comforted generations for millennia.
The Book of Psalms isn’t just a collection of poetic hymns in the Old Testament but has several prophecies concerning Christ, his sufferings, and glory afterward.
The Book of Psalms offers a sanctuary for troubled hearts. Within its verses, we find “Psalms for Peace of Mind” – powerful words that can soothe our anxieties and calm our troubled minds.
These timeless passages remind us of God’s unwavering love and protection, providing a balm for our souls in times of distress.
As we explore these scriptures, we’ll discover how they can transform our perspective, renew our faith, and guide us toward inner tranquillity.
Join us on this journey through the Psalms, and learn how to find peace in life’s storms.
SCRIPTURES FROM THE BOOK OF PSALMS FOR PEACE OF MIND
Here are scriptures from the book of Psalms that specifically address peace of mind:
“The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.” – Psalm 29:11
“Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” – Psalm 34:14
“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.” – Psalm 37:7
Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace.” – Psalm 37:37
Read carefully again Psalm 37 vs 37 and ask yourself, who is an upright Man?
You are that upright man because you are in Christ, it is outside of your works, you are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus – and guess what? Your present and future are Peace.
Say this prayer with me: “I know my future and it is Peace. Halleluiah!
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.” – Psalm 46:1-2
God can never abandon his Children, we will not fear because we don’t have the spirit of fear, he lives in us, he can never be far from us, and help comes from within us for all of heaven is in us, this is what gives us peace of mind.
Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” – Psalm 55:22.
Bro. Kenneth.E. Hagin would say, that cast means to throw away and never look back but most believers would go back and pick it up again thinking God would not take care of it.
We need to stop seeing God as one with double standards, there are no variables or shadow of turning with him.
His Character is one, he answers prayers always, he’s good always and there is no evil in him.
All of our worries and thinking would not add a cubit to our height, surely the promises of God are yea and Amen in Christ, we therefore cast our cares on Jesus because he cares for us.
“In peace, I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” – Psalm 4:8
“Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.” – Psalm 119:165
In Hebrews 8 vs 10 and Hebrews 10 vs 16, scriptures say God will put his laws into our minds, what a beautiful covenant we have, therefore we don’t only love the Word of God but we do the Word effortlessly because it is in our hearts.
For we know it is God which worketh in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure (Philippians 2 vs 13) and one of his good pleasures is to give us peace, this peace we have found in God.
