How to Get Peace of Mind

If you have been asking "How do I get peace of mind?", know that it is possible by following these steps:

Come to Jesus

The first thing you have to do if you want peace of mind is to accept Jesus’ invitation for He asks all who are overburdened to come to Him and He will give them peace of mind and refreshment for their souls. (Matthew 11:28-30) 

So come to Jesus today since all you have to do is to say with your mouth that "Jesus is Lord" and then believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)

Read Your Bible

The second thing you need to do to alleviate mental distress and attain peace of mind is to take up His yoke or the instructions for living that He sets for us. These instructions are written in the Word of God so read your Bible every day for all Scripture originates from God to guide us, warn us and correct us. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

As you read your Bible, pray for your eyes to be opened with understanding so that you may be able to discern its truths and its message. Understand also that just reading the Word or listening to it being preached is not enough, you also have to be a doer of the Word for mere hearers deceive themselves. (James 1:22)

Follow Jesus

The third thing you need to do to get peace of mind even in the middle of a stressful situation is to learn from Jesus and live as He did. 

Therefore, stop being a proud abrasive and become gentle and humble. Drop the heavy yoke of trying to live up to the world’s a million and one ever-changing expectations and put on the simple yoke one of living only to please Jesus and you will find the peaceful rest that the world cannot give you.

Cast Your Cares

The fourth thing you can do to increase your peace of mind is to cast your cares on God because He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

Therefore write down all the problems that are disturbing you mentally and pray to ask God to solve them for you.

As you wait for His solutions, decide that you will not think about those problems. When those burdens that you cannot solve by yourself enter your mind, remind yourself that you have given them to the Lord in prayer.
