Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusted in thee.
Isaiah 26:3
It’s been a tougher than usual year. I had three close family members pass away, one totally unexpected. Low morale at school, a too busy schedule and now trying to deal with figuring out how to teach from home has added to an already stressful few months.
And now with what is happening and may happen to our state, our country and our world with the onset of the Corona Virus I feel even more unsettled.
I realized the other day that my prayer life had significantly decreased and my lack of peace had significantly increased. Hmm, coincidence, probably not.
When Tom asked me to share a favorite verse, several came to mind, but this one from Isaiah reminds me that while all that is going on around me can seem overwhelming, God has promised his peace if I give my cares over to him and trust in his love for me. This promise is for all of us. Thanks be to God!
God’s Peace!!!
