Quote from Beth Moore: "Prayer guards hearts and minds and causes God to bring peace out of chaos."
"Yearn to understand first and to be understood second." Beca Lewis Allen
Prov: 2:10-11 " For wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; Discretion will guard you, understanding will watch over you."
(Wed. June 8th)
Lately I've been stressed out, I thought I had things all figured out and that things were all calm and had been laid to rest. Well I should have known that it was just "the calm before the storm". I got a phone call this afternoon that I didn't want to get and my body tensed up quickly, a knot developed in my stomach and I was trembling inside. (stress really makes my body ache and hurt with pain)
I had prayed and prayed and talked to God last week about the current storm in my life and today I sort of felt like I had not been heard. But once again I was reminded that things are not going to be what I want but what He wants. He did hear me and he did answer my prayer. By the end of the conversation on the phone it was clear to me how he had answered my prayer. He answered in such a way that it continued to remind me to trust in him and to have faith.
I soon started to relax and began to feel at peace again knowing that God was in control. I know you must be wondering about what I'm really talking about and the details but I'm not ready to totally bring them all out to light here at this time but just know I truly know that no matter how scary or ugly or out of control the storm may get I'm not alone, He is there leading me through the storm.
Until this storm comes to pass I will continue to ride the crashing waves with my Lord and Savior.
