"and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" ~Phil 4:7~
I have seen times I struggled so hard, I had scripture written on notecards in my pocket and pulled them out to read & say a 5 second prayer every hour just to get through the day. I'm grateful for those times now, that I learned the power of His presence. As we take the things that make us anxious and nervous to God in prayer, thanking Him for how abundantly He has always met our needs....His peace covers us. Time spent alone in conversation with the Father always brings peace. It's amazaing that even though my circumstances may not change one bit, He can shed new light on them so I can see a little clearer. In that light, the warm presence of Him, my hope is renewed and I have new strength to get up from my knees and face life one more hour. Only God can guard our heart and minds from the negitive discouragement of satan...Take your needs to Him, run to Him, fall into His arms, lay your head on His chest. Let His peace cover you.
