Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional REV. BILLY E. FLOYD Pastor, Worthville Baptist Church Prayer and Peace at Mind Isaiah 26:3 Many times during my ministry I have been away from my family late at night trying to help others pick up the pieces at their life and begin anew. Each night I always look into the faces of my two boys and see if all is well. I always find them sound asleep, perfectly relaxed, com pletely at peace. I wonder why the people I’ve seen during the day are not like this. Once we did have that peace but as we grow older our lives become more complicated. Most people are thinking of the living we have to make, the debts we owe, of what will happen to us in our old age. We worry about the world situa tion, we get crossed up with people, we think about the wrongs we have committed, we are afraid for our health. Gradually the peace of our minds is drained away and gone. “Whose mind is stayed,” said the prophet, is the way to perfect peace. First, we need to learn to empty our minds. Peace ca nnot come as long as we hold certain things in our minds. When we come in at night we wash our hands, sending the days accumulation of dirt down the drain. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our minds could be washed in this way? After Rabbi Liebman wrote his book, Peace of Mind, he was swamped with people seeking peace. His mail was heavy, his telephone rang constantly, people were con stantly bothering him. He was a young man, only thirty eight, but because of his great love and concern for people, he fell under the burden in three years a nd died a t the age of forty one. His dying statement was, “I am appalled at the Multitudes of people who have never learned to empty their minds.” Most of us bring our worries home with us every night and trouble our families. There is no sleep. We just haven’t learned the one sure way to find peace of mind. Instead of brooding and worrying people need to learn to leave a great part of their worries with God. Study these words carefully: What a Friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! 0 what peace we often forfeit 0 what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry, Everything to God in Prayer! Jesus said, “Men ought always to pray and not to faint.” This is the secret of Invitation To Bid You are invited to submit a bid on following automo biles for sale.

If your world seems to be falling down around you, why not let God bring peace. Empty your mind of those problems and cares. He is able and willing. Prayer is the answer.
