I feel the most productive when I am motivated by peace instead of by pressure. That’s how I am able to avoid writer’s block and to write and post something creative almost every day. I do all that I can to live by and follow this advice:
Refuse to allow your problems, your frustrations, your pain, and your disappointments to pull you down and sink you into self-focus, (Luke 9:23) anxiety, (1 Peter 5:7)) and self-destructive thoughts. desires, and actions. Instead let them make you hunger and thirst for righteousness. (Matthew 5:6) Surrender to “Christ in you” (Colossians 1:27) and begin to be Spirit-led. (Romans 8:14)
Let all of your difficulties motivate you to continually cry out to, (Psalm 77:1) seek first, (Matthew 6:33) draw near to, (James 4:8) press toward, (Philippians 314) and rejoice in (Philippians 4:4) God, day and night. Then, little by little you will learn to ceaselessly trust in, (Proverbs 3:5-6) depend on, and rely on the God of hope who will make you overflow with hope by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)
Be still and listen inwardly to Jesus (John 10:27) as He says to you: ““Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28-29) Let the risen Jesus Himself train you to continually experience His wonderful inner peace that is beyond human understanding. (Philippians 4:7)
Allow Christ to live inside of you (Romans 8:10-11) and to lead you from within by His Spirit (Galatians 5:16) in all that you think, say, and do. Then your gifting (Ephesians 4:11) will spontaneously manifest itself as you listen to and obey the resurrected Jesus Christ. (Matthew 4:19)
Sending people to war is disturbing the peace. Many people arrested for disturbing the peace were actually disturbing warmakers.
