Isn’t it funny how if you will take your life stresses and stop long enough to pray over them and find scripture that answers your concerns, your peace will indeed return? Today I wrote four simple scriptures that always somewhat remind and if you will discipline me to keep my thoughts in check. It is a simple exercise, to write the Word and put it in front of my view, but it always always helps me to stay focused on what I need to consider, not what my flesh wants to worry about.
Phillipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Phillipians 4:19 God will supply all my needs according to the riches of his Glory
2Timothy 1:7 God has not given me a spirit of fear; but of power and love and a sound mind.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
Today it was not one thing or another that had my attention, it is several directive stresses at once that keep coming at me from different directions: budgets, boy1 leaving for college last week, boy2 life choices, custody issues, promotion issues/choices for Dh, homeschooling preparations, etc None of it life shattering or truly a crisis, but things that simply have had my mind on things other than thankfulness and love for others.
God is good, I am thankful for His word and its comforts and answers to my silly stresses.
