I'm At Peace

My Lord,

The washing machine is loud; grateful me that I can do laundry in the house. The heater is loud; grateful me that I'm wrapped in your warmth.

I'm sitting in my $20 birthday chair and reflecting on the fact that you have taken my life and molded it to your pleasure. Father, I do not object one single bit. Please, continue your work in me.

"...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." (‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ NIV)

I am the most #loved, the most happiest, the most content, the most freeing, the most certain I ever been. I simply cannot imagine this life; living day to day in this society without you! I couldn't do it and I would not want to.

I'd rather die, than to go it on my own!

"When I am here and the moments with You Jesus, I am clothed inside your grace, inside your peace, inside your truth, inside your presence, and inside your protection."

Lord I just want to thank! Thank you for your unfailing faithfulness in my life and the lives of my family.

I'm currently reading Dr. Stanley's sermon notes. I get them once a week in the mail and today's topic is "Dealing With Anxiety." A member of my family is currently experiencing this in a big way. I knew exactly what it was but I did not want to reveal it or belittle their current situation. I kept my mouth shut. I listened and I prayed.

But Father you immediately  revealed to me what it was. And as a result of trusting you, knowing you, and believing in you, I was at peace. I just began to pray and pray and talk with you and wait on you for deliverance. Yesterday you answered my prayer. Yes you are a big God who cares about every detail of our lives.

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
(1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬ NIV)

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 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."(‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4-7‬ NIV)

I love you Lord! I trust you and I oftentimes have no words to say but, "Thank you." So grateful that you know my heart; you know the depths of my heart.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." (‭Psalm‬ ‭73‬:‭26‬ NIV)

Eternally yours
