Life gets hard sometimes. This past week I have felt like I am back in college writing reports on a deadline. Early morning and lots of coffee have been my companion.
Yesterday morning I rose at 4:30 AM with a typhoon wave of anxiety. I refused to begin my day an anxious, unsettled mess. Reaching for Linda Dillow's Calm My Anxious Heart, I found myself reading about being content in our life circumstances.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6
I find it so easy to compare my circumstances with other Christian women. It's funny how you can think you're done battling a struggle and it just creeps up on you and ***BAM*** you're knocked over, again.
I love this Chris Tomlin song, "Our God is Greater." God is able to take me back to a place of contentment and joy. Yesterday, God did exactly that, after an hour of reading my book, the Bible and prayer ... God calmed my heart and gave me joy. God is so good to me.
I pray that despite the circumstances that surround you, that God fills you with contentment and joy this coming year.
Blessings, Love and Happy New Year.
