Are you stressed, overwhelmed, in over your head in a relationship, a financial issue, a mountain weight you have to lose? God never planned for us to be in struggle, difficulties and worry. He says, Dont worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. And the promise he makes is, If you do this, you will experience Gods peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. I love that because I know when I worry, I get stressed. And when I get stressed nothing of value gets done. Instead of paralyzing worry and fear, I want the releasing feeling that Gods peace brings. Breathe Him in. Breathe out worry and stress. It works for me. Does it work for you? Theres one other piece, though. If you see there in Philippians 4:6-7 we need to talk to Him, tell Him what we need and thank Him for what Hes already done. Gratitude breeds peace. Hey, and its almost Thanksgiving. Let this season be a time of peace for you and yours.
