27 “Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid. (John 14:27 GNT)
The peace that we have in Christ Jesus is unlike anything you'll ever experience . There is something so amazing in the fact that there is no overwhelming circumstance where God is unable to calm us and give us clear thinking. In the midst of dark situations God has the ability to make things better; With a still soft voice He assures us that He is present in this moment with us and we don't have to have it all figured out.
Sometimes we have to step outside of ourselves to really recognize that God is in control. When we acknowledge our need for Christ we create a atmosphere for the Lord to come in and pour in to us all that we've lost and as well as the things we weren't aware that we were missing. He can enable us to stand firm and get through whatever comes our way.
3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,My glory and the One who lifts up my head.4 I cried to the Lord with my voice,And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah (Psalm 3:3-4 NKJV)
It's important to keep the line of communication open with the Lord. We need Gods presence on a daily basis, not just when things are falling apart. Sitting at the foot of the Lord is what will sustain us in our everyday lives so we don't fall to pieces when we are faced with trials. Even when we do fall apart we won't stay there because of the foundation we're cultivating by talking to God on a regular basis and meditating on His word.
Whatever you're facing today I encourage you to tuck away some time to bring all that is on your mind and in your heart to God and ask that He would relieve you and reassure you that His hand is on your life. He will get you through it!
Love,
