Hope for PTSD and Anxiety Found in Peace with God and the Peace of God, says Senior Pastor
I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
GENESIS 17, verse 1. Consecrate yourselves to-day to the Lord.
EXODUS 32, verse 29.
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
F. R. HAVERGAL.
I have noticed that wherever there has been a faithful following
of the Lord in a consecrated soul,
several things have inevitably followed,
sooner or later.
Meekness and quietness of spirit become
in time the characteristics of the daily life.
A submissive acceptance of the will of God as it comes in
the hourly events of each day; pliability in the hands of God
to do or to suffer all the good pleasure of His will;
sweetness under provocation;
calmness in the midst of turmoil and bustle;
yieldingness to the wishes of others,
and an insensibility to slights and affronts;
absence of worry or anxiety;
deliverance from care and fear; --all these, and many similar graces,
are invariably found to be the natural outward development
of that inward life which is hid with Christ in God. H. W. SMITH.
