back off and wait

"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." Philippians 4:6-7

Closeup our situations and circumstances in life can appear ugly and daunting.  The hopelessness and darkness of the moment can be like a big black hole, sucking the life out of us and filling us with fear instead.  But God does not intend for us to live like that... in fear and distress.  He has a plan.

Father, when  we are overwhelmed and uncertainty is looming over us, help us to back off from the moment, wait, and TRUST You.  From Your perspective our circumstances take on a completely different look. You work beauty out of all things... in Your perfect time.

Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD will be your strength.

Praying the glory of our Father will surround you as you breathe in the sweetness of His Peace.

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live like we believe it,
