INSPIRASUNS

I’m not sure if you experience this, but sometimes I find myself getting into a rut when I talk with Father. What I mean is, I find that when I’m lifting prayers, I’m just repeating the same thing each day, if that makes sense. This morning I stopped myself to just converse with Him.

Like most of you, I’m sure, a lot is going on right now. I’ve had days where I’ve felt anxious, stressed, go ahead pick an adjective 🙂 . This morning I took the time to share those feelings more personally with Father, like He didn’t already know 🙂 . Through that sharing, I also asked Him not only to guide me but to bring His peace to my heart. In true fashion, He did just that. I felt a wave of calm settle in.

I really don’t know why I don’t just go to Him first with everything. During the day when challenges arise or unexpected things occur, it would be a lot simpler if I’d just take a moment to stop and ask for His peace to settle the bumpy sea. Maybe that’s a repeating prayer I should get in the habit of saying, “Lord please bring your peace to my heart and settle this situation”. I might just find, just like He did this morning, He will let that wave of calm wash over me.

So today friends, I just encourage you to not do what I seem to be doing recently, letting the adjectives build up. Instead, stop, and take a moment to not only ask Father to guide but ask Him to bring the peace and let the calm wash over you. He is always here with us and I can almost see Him with the face-palm emoji those times when I forget to go to Him first. Thank goodness He is patient and forgiving.

Have a great day my friends. Continued prayers for so many who need it.

Thanks too this morning to my granddaughter Dakota for the beautiful sunrise picture from the heartland yesterday. Love you kid!

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
