Holy Water - Day 8
Philippians 4:6-7
Peace
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Don’t worry?! For someone who has been a chronic worrier those words are hard to hear. I’ve spent so much of my life allowing fear and anxiety to dictate my decisions and control my mind. I’ve wanted to surrender control to God, but I’ve been reluctant to let go.
I thank God for His incredible patience as I have walked out this journey. The irony is the more I surrender control and cast my cares onto Him – the less anxiety and worry I experience. But I have found that it is easier said than done. It’s a daily practice. A daily surrender. A daily picking up of my cross. A daily dying to my flesh. And His mercy is ever ready to gently (and sometimes less gently - He knows best :)) usher me down the aisle towards the marriage supper of the Lamb. He’s always preparing His bride to be ready for Him in eternal matrimony where fear will NEVER be allowed.
Peace is a Person. His Name is Jesus. His Name is God the Father. His Name is the Holy Spirit.
