A Place of Peace

Through my faith, I have no doubt that God created me to be happy. So how could I doubt that God will give me all I need to live life to the fullest? I give thanks for the blessings I already have and get ready for the new ones He has planned for my future.

I give thanks for all the beauty that surrounds me and for the beauty I see in each child of God. However, I must confess, the human side of me sometimes comes to the surface and I find myself struggling to feel peace in my life. Struggles do come in our world from time to time. The devil has a way of catching us off guard and plants his seeds of doubt and discontent in  our hearts and mind to steal our joy.                                                                                                          

                                                                                            

It is in these times of turmoil and distress we look for moments of comfort and peace by gazing at a snow-capped mountain, stroll through a beautiful flower garden, or go outside on a star filled summer sky and count the stars spread across the Milky Way.   

In the quiet moments of prayer, I can reflect on this truth: “God in me is my strength.” With this thought  I can stop myself from being caught up in a whirlwind of confusion around me and declare that God is all the wisdom I need and my decisions for my life are based on His divine guidance. It is with this in mind He leads me beside still waters…to a place of peace. The Way I See it, there is no safer place to be.
