Peace I Leave With You

Sunrise brought the dawning of a glorious day here in central Arkansas, a Bible study from Philippians 4 that my husband had prepared for us, and the promise of great peace.

 I went to bed last night and slept without an anxious thought and I give God all the glory.

 I want to sincerely thank you, my precious friends, for all the prayers you have lifted heaven's way for me. I am feeling them in a mighty way.

 The last few days have been very hard and I have been very anxious and I was certainly not the poster child picture for Philippians 4--you know--anxiety free. But satan lost and God gets the glory because today my heart is at peace.

I usually handle things better than I have for the past week or so but this has proven to me once again that without God intervening I have no ability to "handle anything."

 I pray that your heart is at peace today also--no matter what you are going through.
 Jesus said: 
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.  John 14:27
