God's Peace

Last night my husband and I sat up talking. I'm sure in every marriage at some point you have those talks about life. Things that you both have on your plate, the kids, the finances, etc. We spoke of our burdens as well. I love my husband and am so thankful for him. God blessed me with a wonderful man; the provider, father and husband. He amazes me. As a woman, we are natural worriers. We worry about the house, our kids, our family, our finances, our friends,...everything. It's nice to know I have someone in my life to lean on and talk to. After our talk last night, even though we talked about good stuff, the obstacles stood out. I went to sleep thankful but my heart was still full of burden. I woke up this morning, read my devotional and it was about God's peace.
He is so faithful. He knew exactly what I needed to hear/read to calm my anxiety. He met me at that place to make sure I felt peace. He reminded me that the closer we are to Him, the safer we are. He is always beside us and within us, helping us not to sink in the deep waves of life. We just have to keep our focus on Him.
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
