Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my
anxious thoughts. Psalm 139: 23
Days become difficult when we try and handle life on our own. We become anxious and forget how to welcome calm. We move along in our
days and settle for less than what God wants for our lives. And, we allow fear
to hold us back from experiencing how it feels to be joyful.
Christ wants us to gratefully experience the gift of His presence
in our lives. But, sometimes, we take too much time searching…We get caught up in negative thoughts of doubt. But, in moments to draw us
closer to the power of strength, God helps us examine our hearts. He uses circumstances
in our days to humble us. He reaches the heart of our need and shows us where to find PEACE that passes all understanding.
The Bible says, “And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4: 7 NIV
God speaks through His WORD, through others and through our
circumstances. He speaks through the Holy Spirit and allows us to recognize the
depth of His holiness. He calls us to listen and obey. He prepares us for quiet
moments to be held by Jesus.
If we seek God, the soul will stop searching for substitutes
of calm. We will understand how to welcome PERFECT PEACE from the Savior. God will
prepare us for His greatness, if we seek Him with all of our hearts and faithfully
wait for everything to PERFECTLY fall into place.
Dear God, Thank you for Your presence in our lives. Help us examine
our hearts and rid ourselves of things which hold us back from experiencing
JOY. We will surrender our fear and never be afraid to admit why we need You. We will find strength to do Your will and faithfully
TRUST You will take care of ALL of our needs. Amen
