Peace, not just the sign or the two fingers you stick up in a dorky snap chat ( don't worry we all do that). The feeling of ease and calmness. In the bible it speaks of peace that surpasses all understanding . Struggling with anxiety, I find myself forgetting that five letter word. Whenever I truly find that peace it doesn't come from the amount of clothes I buy, the yoga and exercise I do, the amount I sleep. These such things numb the pain for a short while. When I truly am at my wits end and pretty much at my breaking point I find my peace in Jesus. Why is it we fight what we know we need from the beginning? A lot of times I find myself planning my life out and pushing things in the way I believe they should run. Heck, of you would have asked me when I graduated high school I would have thought I would at least be engaged by now. Thankfully by the power of God I am not. If my way did exist I would have miserable wishing I had these few beautiful years to find myself. God knows our hearts but he also knows exactly what is best. He knows our hearts because he created them. The verse that comes to mind is Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. My path as of right now is unbeliable crooked but faith produces that peace. I have peace knowing God has his hand on my life. Why shall I worry?
