When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. Psalm 94: 19

God arms us with everything we need to discover the power of His strength. Sometimes we wake in worry and forget how to welcome calm. Doubt fills our hearts and we question what will happen next. We forget how it feels to let go of worries and allow God to arm us with everything we need.

God patiently waits for us to receive the gift of His presence and recognize why we need Him. He opens hearts and helps us find courage to LET GO of our fear. He shows how to be courageous and provides strength in the offering of His love. He reminds us who is working for the good.

While we are held in the safety of calm, Christ keeps us going. He nurtures our faith so we will see how it feels to trust. He changes our lives and helps us examine our hearts. He shows how to welcome perfect peace and focus on Him. And He helps us receive the gifts of His greatness.

God will help us handle our lives. HE will remind us why we are not alone. He will help us remain faithful. He will steer us in the right direction. We will find strength to rise, when we have embraced the joy of a grateful heart and learned to let God handle EVERY single thing.

Dear God, thank you for giving us courage to surrender our worries and learn to totally TRUST. We will patiently wait for STRENGTH to arm us with everything we need. Thank you for showing us how it feels to be held by Your holiness. We will love You with all of our hearts and welcome the PEACE only YOU can provide. Thank you for handling our days. Thank you for the power of Your love! We will surrender our worries and gratefully trust in YOU. We will feel Your calming presence when we have learned to say goodbye to fear. Thank you, Lord. Thank you! Amen
