Sunday Reflection; Peace

Heavenly Father how silly you must think I am.  Often I find myself frightened and fighting with the unknown and what if's in my life.  What if I mess up at work and get fired?  What would my family do?  What if my loved one is hurt and I am to far away to help? I am not sure if I have enough money to cover my bills if my car fails.  I don't know what I will do when I am suppose to retire...  

It is so silly for me to worry and fret over things that may never happen.  Worse I start little battles in my mind to handle the what if's.  Who am I fight?  What am I going to achieve by fighting something that doesn't even exist?  

Over all of the loud clatter in my mind I hear my Father say, "Be still, and know that I am God..." Psalm 46:10 and my mind clears, I have peace once again.  

It is only through you Heavenly Father that I can have real peace.  Thank you for blessing me with such simple and deep peace.  Amen

Luke 21:14 

But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves.
