SEEKING FOR STRENGTH AND PEACE FROM ABBA -I know your thoughts towards me are good and not evil

Dear God,

I know your thoughts towards me are good and not evil

But, anxiety is beginning to drift me away from you

Scared if I'm able to handle everything you have in store for me

Scared of loosing of my loved ones

Scared of choosing a life partner

Scared of maybe, and maybe not

Scared of the past, present, and future

I don't think I can handle it anymore

I don't think I have it figured out

I could go on and all complaining about what is working and what isn't working

I might loose my mind but I still can't figure it out all alone

I need your peace, Peace—not eliminating circumstances   Because if I have peace, it doesn’t matter whether my circumstances are pleasant or unpleasant. I remain the same. Peace is not the absence of problems but trusting God in the midst of life’s storms

To enter into this peace This peace that only Jesus can give , I know I have to stop allowing myself to be agitated, disturbed, anxious, and worried. God had done His part by giving me peace

I always pray for my circumstances to change,  but I needed to pray that I would change. I needed to be stronger and more stable instead of so easily affected by circumstances

I'm beginning to learn that Jesus has given me His peace, and I can have a quality of peace, unlike anything the world can offer

When I did pray, I prayed for my troublesome circumstance to go away instead of praying for the Holy Spirit to strengthen me on the inside so I could endure with a good temper whatever came my way

I know one of the gift packaged at salvation is the gift of peace right in the midst of the storm

Help me!

Dear God, When it feels like the fear makes it hard to breathe, fill me with Your amazing, calming presence. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

John 14:27

Philippians 4:6–7
