God granted me HIS peace

It's the 21st of the month ... the days flew by fast. I sit here tonight at peace. I don't mean quiet because all is asleep ... I mean free of burdensome worry. Not because all worries have been solved. But because there is no sense to worry at all. God is with me, and He provides for my daily needs.

Yes, the mortgages and bills were paid. God gave us exactly what we needed to make it through another month. And the greatest outcome about this provision is that I did not fret, which I normally do. It was a miracle ... which translated to peaceful encounters with my husband and my kids.

God knew the prayer in my heart. I didn't want to be so worried with the money situation that my stress trickled down to my family. Last month I felt so overwhelmed, I felt the pains physically. This month, God granted me HIS peace I so desperately needed.

Thank you Lord for knowing what's in my heart. May I stand firm, in faith, and trust in You completely.

That is Soo cool!
And what a blessing...I've been so stress free this Christmas I'm actually behind now...and I DON'T care...HA! It just doesn't SEEM right to care so much about 'getting' it all done and wrapped up with a tidy bow if I'm stressing along the way....I can hardly believe that God's had all of this Phillipians 4: 6-7 just waiting for us...we just decided to ask this year....WOW!

Be anxious about nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication WITH thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the PEACE of God, which passes ALL understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil. 4:6-7
