Peace. We talked a
little bit about peace yesterday. I honestly wished it was as easy to follow
the knowledge we receive as it was to write about it. I intellectually
understand what it means to have God's peace, but putting that understanding
into practice is another matter. It is
so difficult to find peace in a crisis, at least for me. I'm struggling and I
need my Lord and Savior to open my heart to His will, to let the Holy Spirit
show me the way to His peace amidst the worst times. I don't like letting my
current situation cause disquiet in me, panic in me, anxiety in me, exhaustion
and dismay in me. I pray to be strong in the Lord, to be able to look to Him as
my Hope, my Rock, my Stronghold, my Fortress, my King, my Savior, my God. I
have to stop looking at myself for these things because I HAVEN'T the ability
to bring myself peace.
I need this-- as I
was reminded--
Joh 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give
I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
I need this peace He
can leave with me, the peace He can give to me, peace that the world cannot
give to me. I need to not let my heart be troubled, or afraid.
Please, Lord help me
to look outward for my strength not inward as if I should have some special
ability to give myself peace. Let Your peace live in me. Let me cling to You,
growing ever closer to You and further away from myself. All through Jesus Christ
our Lord and Savior now and forever!
