Have you ever been unsettled before? How do you deal with it? Today’s Holy Nougat Is an ‘oucher’
“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.” Colossians 3:15 ASV
What is the situation that has denied you peace? Is it something you can easily identify, or is it lurking insidiously in the background, creating a grump and perhaps encouraging you to sin? (Yes, sin; for its highly likely that
A. you have not entrusted it to God’s care
B. you have lost your peace
C. thankfulness is no longer a natural way of life
– And, in case you are wondering, yes I’ve been there!)
So in eliminating the sin factor, let’s consider
– Is it that you have not prayed , or have you prayed and forgotten to entrust it to God?
– Have you been trying to create your own solutions (perhaps to no avail)?
– Are finding that your prayer life is slipping or your faith has faltered?
If you find that your response to any of those is yes; then it’s time for drastic action
Ready?
Let’s pray
Dear Lord
I realize that I have placed a wedge in our relationship and indirectly denied Your power as God of all flesh. Please forgive me. The truth is, subconsciously I have fed fear (that You cannot supply my needs) and doubt (that You will meet me at my point of need). Today, I am consciously casting my cares upon You, and so I pause to list them now –
Holy Spirit, may Your Peace be the assurance that You’ve GOT this; that You’re supplying my needs. Help me to leave these in Your care, since worrying is not fixing the situation. Draw me closer to You once again I pray as I release me in totality to Your care. Have Your way I pray in Jesus name I pray amen
