God is saying to you today, "My child, nothing has power over you unless you hand it over. I have given you authority over your thoughts, your responses, and the peace that lives within you. Do not let the noise around you control the atmosphere within you. When pressure rises and emotions try to take over, pause and remember that My peace is available to you. You do not have to react to every situation or every word spoken against you. Choose calm. Choose wisdom. When you walk in the peace I give you, nothing around you can steal the strength I placed inside of you."
