After the whole TV debacle (still coming - processing, pondering), I was clearing off the fridge yesterday and came across the following verses stuck on there: 'Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you,' (Psalm 55:22), this was followed by the verse 'Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you' (2 Peter 5:7). A few minutes after looking at this verse and feeling comforted, the daily verse on my Bible app came though to my phone, it was from Philippians 4:6-7 and the message was as follows, 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus'.
I have sometimes said that I wish God would send an email or text, and yesterday I feel He sent me a text message via my phone. We make mistakes, we have regrets and we experience heart ache but we have a God who offers us peace to calm our anxiety, a Creator who shows us love and speaks to us in countless ways and reminds us that His love is eternal, everlasting, unconditional and constant no matter the circumstances. So I put my anxiety before Him and have felt peace and thankful for the bigger picture.
Thank you for reading, Jacqui
