Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:4-7 NKJV)
Recently, I had to hold on to those Scriptures for my sanity and my life! My mind was all over the place, trying to figure out what was clearly beyond my own capacity to process. So, instead of stressing myself out (I was almost in tears), I just chose to release it to God, to hand it right over. I decided to breathe deeply and read the Word. It was all I had really, because I had no control over what was going on around me.
In this particular season, I have been isolated from the familiar. I’m away from my close-knit family by divine design, I’m certain. God has set me aside to pour into me. Honestly, I welcome it. I appreciate His ability to create rest for me wherever I am. But on that day, that restful state had been under attack, and it was through someone very close to me.
