I have been praying for peace for awhile and my request has finally been granted. I cannot even begin to describe what I am feeling - overwhelming joy and thankfulness- I will dance and I will sing to be mad for my king - nothing Lord is hindering this passion in my soul!
Over the past month I've struggled with anxiety, letting my worries get the best of me. I followed Philippian 4: 6-7 almost every day and gave my requests to God each night before bed - asking him for direction and guidance. To be honest I felt like my prayers were hitting a wall and bouncing back. But he was listening the whole time, letting me go through a little agony so that I would be able to recognize his peace when he did choose to give it to me.
As I sat in my cramped up and (messy) dorm room on Saturday and prayed, I was overcome with the peace that I had been waiting for- for so long. The nagging gut feeling I had felt before was lifted off and in its place was a feeling of reassurance and peace. This peace has settled over my heart and my mind and it is not leaving. Although right now I do not know exactly what it is for, I can feel Gods approval over my life and will continue to wait on him.
Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus"
Prince of Peace. Take me in- all of me. I choose to follow you and you alone. NOTHING can satisfy me but you. Thank you for making this heavy heart light.
