“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” — Matthew 7:7, NIV
When we have a troubled heart, we should pursue peace. The Bible says we can seek God when we are struggling, and He will answer us. We may not get the exact answer we are looking for. Our fears and worries may not disappear instantly.
Instead, going to God in prayer and through His word can help us know how to take the next step to pursue peace. Perhaps, He leads us to seek counsel from others or a professional. Maybe, He shows us different areas in our life where we can choose peace or how to change our habits in order to change our hearts.
Even when our hearts are troubled, we are still deeply and fully loved by God. He sees and understands us. Our fears and worries are not too much for Him. Nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:38-39).
We will never be perfect. Our hearts will never be completely free from sin, fear and struggle while we are still living here on Earth. However, our eternity is secured. We have already won, not because of ourselves but because of Jesus Christ, the one who can take any troubled heart and make it new.
