Peace

I have a lot going on right now as I work through the details of an accident I was in last week. I have been trying to hold on to the truths that I know..."that all things work together for good for those who love Christ" but fear and uncertainity have been trying to take their grip on me. I started out this day after a few discouraging days asking the Lord to give me peace and joy today. He has brought me JOY through my co-workers and friends today. We have a fun time together and I thought "wow, I am so lucky to have a job I love where I can see my friends every day!". JOY! On my break I read a blog I keep up with. She is a friend of a friend who lost her husband a year ago. Her story inspires me and her post today was so fitting with where I'm at this week.

As I read her post an overwhelming peace filled me. Not only because it reminded me that my life and struggles are so little in comparison to hers. I think that often and I know the Lord cares about all our needs- big or small. What spoke to me were her words...the truth she spoke and the verses she shared. I am thankful for the Lord and how He hears our cries and really knows just what we need and when we need it. I don't know how rest of my day will play out as I hassle with insurance companies, but I do know the Holy Spirit is my comforter and can fill me with peace.
