Dear God,

The way to peace is trust in you.  When our stomachs churn, our heart beats fast, and our breathing is labored, we feel anxious, worried, and afraid.  Our minds spin.  No peace is to be found because we are fixed on whatever ails us.  But when we turn to you and trust you to help us, we find inner peace, the kind that comes only from you.

How many times have I tossed and turned because I could not let go of worry or fear?  How often have I raged inside over an injustice?  When I gave in to all my concerns and could not see a way out, I fretted and stewed.  However, what I discover is when I trust you and breathe in your light and breathe out my own darkness, I find you standing with peace in your hand.

Heavenly Father,
thank you
for your
sweet peace.
Thank you
for your compassion
and gentle way.
Thank you
for meeting us
at the point
of our need.

Love always, Andrea
