How can you know the God of peace and the peace of God?

How can you be tranquil?

How can you become in the midst of everything,

temptations, onslaughts, doubts, fears, troubles

by living according to God's pattern,

by thinking according to God's pattern,

and by feeling according to God's pattern?

Right attitudes, right thoughts, right action.

Welcome to Grace to You with John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

We're glad you've tuned in today,

and I think you'll be glad too before it's over.

John MacArthur is here each Monday through Friday,

teaching God's Word verse by verse.

And today he continues a study that answers this question.

How do you stand strong when your world

feels anything but stable when financial pressures build,

when you're injured and can't work,

when your spouse or child becomes seriously ill

or maybe dies?

What specific steps can you take to honor God

and keep your balance?
