Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles; it takes away today's peace. I love that! God wants us to rest in His peace. I know it is so easy to say to another, "don't worry about it, trust God" yet it is so hard to comprehend it for ourselves. The truth is we are to trust God in all things. Faith comes from prayer and belief in Him. Prayer keeps us closer to our Lord and prayer keeps us grounded. My husband's secret to staying calm and at peace is He reads the Word faithfully and constantly. It keeps Him content and grateful and very serene. I like to read verses more and jump around the bible but that calms me. I like to read God's promises head on because He is faithful and true and I know that every word I read is true. And I reflect back a lot. When I allow my mind to "go there" my mouth just drops with all He has done for us. Miracle after miracle, answered prayer after answered prayer. Sometimes when God is trying to get your attention He will allow things to happen in your life so that you will stop and turn to Him. Some acknowledge it and others ignore it. When we become mature in spirit, we are able to know when it is God. I have missed His voice so many times so I now pray for discernment and wisdom and such divine intervention so that it never happens again. And that is why I blog, I pray, I share, I devote quiet time to my Lord and most of all why I trust and believe. Because I devoted my life to Him and His will for my life. I will embrace whatever He has in store for me and I will not be afraid. So today, instead of worrying, just pray. Just reflect. Just be still in His arms. Just trust.
