About nothing — be anxious.
About everything — pray.
And the peace of God,
which exceeds all understanding,
will protect your heart and mind — today.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, 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.” Philippians 4:6&7
Mighty God, we find our rest and refuge in You alone. Help us trust in You at ALL times.
Friend, may you be FILLED with hope today and share it with others.

Where can we go when we are overwhelmed with struggles?
In Psalm 62:1 David said, “I am at rest in God alone.” Then, in verse 5 he tells his soul to rest in God alone. When we can’t figure out what to do, we can rest in God. When life is scary, we can rest in God. When we can’t sleep, we can rest in God. When friends walk away, we can rest in God. When the doctor’s diagnosis is discouraging, we can rest in God. When we lose our best friend to cancer, we can rest in God. God offers rest for our soul, and that’s where we need it most! So, go ahead, lean in and rest in God.

Worried and restless, I could not sleep.
Grumpy and begrudgingly, I was counting sheep.
When into my thoughts this vision did creep:
I beheld the Lamb: The Keeper of the sheep.

I heard Him say, “I’ve got this CHILD!
I AM always with you — every step — of every mile!”
Then after we had talked and supped for a while,
I lay me down and slept — like a little child.
“I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8
