- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie,
- 0:04Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word. Anchored in
- 0:10Speaker 1: God's Peace, Philippians four and seven says, and the peace
- 0:16Speaker 1: of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts
- 0:21Speaker 1: and your minds. In Christ Jesus, if you're going to
- 0:26Speaker 1: live in peace, it won't happen by accident. Every single day,
- 0:31Speaker 1: opportunities will come to rob you of peace. Unexpected bills
- 0:36Speaker 1: and unkind word, a delayed answer to prayer, even a
- 0:41Speaker 1: small inconvenience that throws your plan off track. Life has
- 0:45Speaker 1: a way of presenting daily irritations and unexpected storms. If
- 0:50Speaker 1: your peace depends only on perfect circumstances, you'll find yourself
- 0:55Speaker 1: frustrated and unsettled most of the time. Oh but here's
- 0:59Speaker 1: the good news. God never promised to remove every difficulty,
- 1:05Speaker 1: but he did promise to give you his peace in
- 1:09Speaker 1: the middle of it. And not just any peace, but
- 1:13Speaker 1: what scripture calls a peace that surpasses all understanding. That
- 1:18Speaker 1: means a peace that doesn't make sense to those around you,
- 1:21Speaker 1: a peace that says, the medical report wasn't good, but
- 1:24Speaker 1: I'm not living in fear. The promotion didn't come, but
- 1:28Speaker 1: I still know God has a plan. A friend let
- 1:31Speaker 1: me down, but I refuse to carry a fence. My
- 1:36Speaker 1: God is fighting my battles. See this piece acts like
- 1:41Speaker 1: a guard over your heart and your mind, shielding you
- 1:44Speaker 1: from anxiety and worry and despair. But here's the key.
- 1:49Speaker 1: You have to protect your peace. If you let every irritation,
- 1:53Speaker 1: every negative report, every rude comment take root in your spirit,
- 1:58Speaker 1: you'll live weighed down. You'll live tense, and you'll live
- 2:02Speaker 1: on the edge. You were created for that. You were
- 2:06Speaker 1: created to live light, to live free and anchored in
- 2:11Speaker 1: God's love. So what do you do? You release it.
- 2:16Speaker 1: You turn that worry over to God. You lay down
- 2:19Speaker 1: that offense, You surrender that outcome into his hands, and
- 2:23Speaker 1: then you choose. Yes, it's a choice. You choose to
- 2:28Speaker 1: live in his peace. The storm may rage around you,
- 2:33Speaker 1: but you can still become on the inside because your
- 2:38Speaker 1: life is angered to the one who never changes. See
- 2:42Speaker 1: that's the peace that surrounds or surpasses You're a human understander.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Oh Father God, thank you that we don't have to
- 2:50Speaker 1: live weighed down by stress, by worry, or by frustration.

- 2:58Speaker 1: your supernatural peace. Today, God, we choose to release every care,
- 3:02Speaker 1: every burden, every disappointment until your hands. God, we declare
- 3:06Speaker 1: that no storm can shake us because we are anchored
- 3:09Speaker 1: in your peace that surpasses understanding in Jesus's name. Hey,
