Greetings to all our friends around the world.
How many people find it difficult to cope with everyday stress?
Do you find it difficult to find peace of mind and tranquility?
The American Psychological Association gave this report
in February 2015:
With all the stresses and turmoil around the world
and the troubling news we learn about every day,
how can you overcome anxiety, worry, and apprehension?
On today's program we'll answer those questions,
and we'll be offering you an inspiring free audio CD that
will help you maintain a positive, peaceful,
and tranquil mind.
It's titled <i>Vital Keys to Happiness.</i>
Be sure to write down the phone number and address
to order your free copy.
You can also order this CD on our website
at TomorrowsWorld.org.
What are the common causes of stress?
What kinds of stress are you and your family experiencing?
The APA report continues with a listing of coping strategies
used by some:
My friends, some of these strategies can help you manage stress,
but the God who created your human mind to begin with
gives long-term solutions to mental health challenges.
Let's consider five strategies for producing and maintaining peace of mind.
My friends, this book holds the keys to life,
a glorious future we call "tomorrow's world,"
and incredible promises for peace of mind.
I encourage you to read the book of Psalms.
The New Testament book of Philippians also gives
wonderful strategies for a tranquil mind.
Turn in your Bible to Psalm 119.
The great psalmist, ancient King David experienced
many stressful trials, but here is one great lesson he
learned through all his problems.
Psalm 119:165...
Why is that?
King David had proved to himself that keeping
the Ten Commandments produced security, assurance, and peace.
This way of life brought understanding and comfort to him
and all who practiced loving God and loving neighbor.
This promise is not a result of simple psychology.
This peace of mind is a result of living God's way of life.
Notice again, this is not just temporary tranquility,
this is "great peace."
My friends, as you read the Bible, and strive to live by it,
God will bless you with heavenly, divine blessings.
As you read your Bible, you may want to write down
scriptural references promising peace of mind.
Notice this inspiring reference from our Savior.
Turn in your Bible to John 14.
Here Jesus gives us this encouragement in John 14:27...
As you read these promises in your Bible,
God will give you contentment you may have never,
ever experienced in your life.
Let's read one more amazing promise in Isaiah 26.
Isaiah 26:3...
My friends, you can have perfect peace, but you must focus
your thoughts and prayers on God the Father
and His Son!
Jesus Christ knows you and your problems.
He is at the right hand of God in heaven to plead your case.
"He [Jesus Christ] always lives to make intercession for them,"
as it tells us in Hebrews 7:25.
Your Bible also reveals God's awesome creation.
Read Isaiah the 40th chapter and thank God for His love for you.
Focus your thoughts on God's beautiful creation.
Count your blessings!
Think about the awesome promises and truths of God revealed in your Bible.
We'll continue with more special keys for producing peace of mind
in the next part of the program, but first I'd like to offer you

In the first part of our program, we saw that
The American Psychological Association reported in February 2015 that:
We also saw that:
My friends, how can you deal with these stresses?
Your Bible gives the answers.
We briefly discussed one vital key to finding peace of mind:
My friends, your Bible reveals the commission God gave His Church.
This mission should be the number one priority
in your life.
If you have your Bible, turn to Matthew the 6th chapter.
The Kingdom of God is coming to this earth!
Are you praying daily as Jesus taught us "Your Kingdom come?"
When we see all the evils imploding upon the world
around us, we yearn for the Kingdom to come.
Do you have that as your mission?
Successful people have a mission greater than themselves.
Holocaust survivor, Victor Frankl, stated this
about our sense of mission:
Before Jesus ascended to heaven,
He spent forty days with His disciples,
and He gave them what is called "The Great Commission."
Read that in Matthew 28:18...
Longtime viewers of <i>Tomorrow's World </i>know that we take
that mission seriously.
Will you join us in doing that vital work?
Let others know about <i>Tomorrow's World</i>.
Study the booklets, CD's, DVD's that we offer free of charge.
<i>Tomorrow's World</i> website gives you those resources
which you can order free of charge.
And if you have come to the place in your life
where you desire to repent and overcome,
and give your life to God and Christ,
we have representatives in many regions around the World.
You may want to counsel for baptism and make your life
a part of the Great Commission.
Be sure to write down the contact information
on your screen or write to us at one of our regional addresses.
Jesus also described the mission He gave His followers in
Mark 16:15...
God is calling you to support that mission.
Will you answer His call?
My friends, have you made a conscious choice to maintain
a positive attitude?
Turn in your Bible to James 1.
The Apostle James reinforces that principle.
He gives us positive advice when facing stress,
trials, and problems.
What are we to think when we face trials?
James writes in chapter 1:2,
The trial certainly may be painful,
but you view the process with joy!
Why? verse 3...
You can have a positive attitude, knowing that your
character and patience are being strengthened.
Yes, even though you may experience pain,
you can still count it as joy!
Why?
Because the testing of you faith results in patience
and improved character.
How many times have I told myself when facing a stressful situation...
"Maintain a positive and tranquil mind"?
God then helps me through the trial.
Learning to smile and having a sense of humor also help at times.
My friends, regardless of our circumstances, we must strive
to maintain a positive mind.
Listen to what the Apostle Paul emphasizes in Philippians 4:4...
Yes, you can choose to think and meditate on positive principles
rather than negative ones.
Read this important key in Philippians 4:8:
Yes, meditate on the positive.
Or as it states in the KJV,
Think of all the beautiful scenes you've seen in creation:
waterfalls, flowers, smiling babies, sunsets, rainbows,
majestic mountains, and spectacular seascapes,
and when you're faced with problems look to God for the solution.
We'll continue with Key number four in the next part of our program.
To help you in your pursuit of true success, happiness,
and peace of mind, we'd like to offer you
this inspiring free audio CD, <i>Vital Keys to Happiness</i>.

I asked at the beginning of the program,
"Do you have peace of mind?"
So, far we've briefly discussed three keys to happiness
and positive mindedness.
Sometimes we're stressed because we will not
share our burdens with anyone else.
As a result we compound the worry.
My friends, you need to share your burdens and stresses
with your Father in heaven.
Turn in your Bible to 1 Peter 5.
Here is a promise that will help you overcome your anxiety.
Share your worries with your Father in heaven!
1 Peter 5:5...
<i>Now notice this!</i>
God knows all your problems and challenges.
He wants you to share your anxieties with Him.
Notice this wonderful promise in Philippians 4:6.
Yes, let your requests be made known to God!
How?
Simply get down on your knees and pray to your Father in heaven.
Tell God your frustrations, your problems, your stresses.
Yes, and even your sins!
You've heard the expression "confession is good for the soul."
Well, what does your Bible say about that?
Here is one of the most wonderful promises of God.
1 John 1:9...
My friends, God wants to forgive you when you repent.
Be determined to change your life.
Confess yours sins and God will give you the strength
to change and renew your life.
Read King David's prayer of confession
after he had committed adultery.
That's Psalm 51:1...
My friends, all the money in the World cannot buy you happiness.
But God wants to freely give you the very special
and priceless gift: peace of mind.
What an incredible promise God is giving you.
Just be plain in sharing your problems in prayer.
Ancient King David was very open and even forward
in his urgent complaints and prayers.
Let's look at Psalm 30:10 for example...
This is just one of many requests for God's mercy.
Notice that God is called...
Millions of people are spending millions of dollars
trying to cope with stress, frustration,
and nervousness.
Your Bible gives hundreds of promises and principles
for peaceful and abundant living, free of charge.
But you must apply the instruction to pray
with thanksgiving about your worries, anxieties and problems.
Then you can experience the wonderful peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding.
My friends, share your anxieties with God in prayer.
Suggest solutions to your problems.
Thank God for the privilege of coming before His throne of grace.
Look forward to His promise that He will give you
My friends, thank God daily for all the blessings in your life.
Thank God for His personal love toward you!
We'll share the final key in the conclusion of our program,

On today's program, we've been discussing keys
to peace of mind.
Regardless of the stresses we face, God gives us the power
and the principles to cope with the frustrations
and challenges of life.
Let's briefly review the first four of the five keys for peace of mind.
The Apostle Paul gave a prophecy describing the moral
meltdown of our age today.
He stated in 2 Timothy 3:1,
He then listed the selfishness and sinful attitudes
and behaviors that we see all around us.
One of those sins was ingratitude, or as
the Apostle Paul described it, human beings are un-thankful.
Let's understand my friends,
Most of all we practice thanksgiving by recognizing
that all good things we enjoy come from God.
The Apostle James writes in chapter 1 and verse 16...
We owe God thanks for every breath of air we breathe.
We owe thanks to God for His love and the love of Christ
for every human being on earth.
Count your blessings.
Thank God for the simple things in life as well as the awesome
spiritual gifts He wants to give you.
Did you notice earlier in the program,
when we read God's awesome promise for peace of mind,
that we were to ask for the blessing "with thanksgiving"?
Let's read it again.
Philippians 4:6...
<i>Thank God many times a day.</i>
<i>Specifically thank him for the</i> <i>ability to overcome anxiety,</i>
<i>stress, and frustration.</i>
<i>God promises us in</i> <i>Philippians 4:7...</i>
My friends, on today's program, we've seen that God is very willing
to give us a peace of mind that "surpasses all understanding."
In this World of turmoil, stress, and danger,
you need God's peace of mind.
Be sure to apply all five of these keys for peace of mind!
And be sure to request our inspiring, free audio CD,
<i>Vital Keys to Happiness</i>.
May God bless you as you seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness.
We invite you to join us every week on Tomorrow's World,
or watch us on-line at any time.
As these end-time prophecies come to pass,
you need the encouragement, faith,
and truth that come from your Bible.
Gerald Weston, Wallace Smith, and I,
along with our guest presenter Rod McNair,
will continue to share with you the teachings of Jesus Christ,
the good news of the coming Kingdom of God,
and the exciting end-time prophecies and their meaning.
So, be sure to join us again next week, right here,
at this same time!
