I felt a bit anxious yesterday and could physically feel how my muscles are tensing. The area around my eyes became tighter and I could feel the burning sensation in my eyes and a feeling of breathlessness.
I knew there was nothing I can do about the current situation which I was trying to find a solution for. At that moment I noticed my tea is getting cold and that it is getting late and had a choice..do I enjoy this tea and focus on the beautiful quiet moment and time with the Word that always strengthen me or do I find a solution for my challenge. I decided to let it go. To hand it over to God and felt the peace within me returning.
Before I dozed off I looked at the little note in my Bible in my own handwriting: “Don’t be anxious about anything but in all your prayers ask God for what you need. Always asking Him with a thankful heart, and God’s Peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your heart and mind safe in union with Christ Jesus.
I smiled.
I chose my Joy and decided whichever the outcome. I am at Peace.
