Today started quietly. My heart and mind were calm: all felt well with my soul. Then, things began to happen: I couldn't find a notebook that was important to me, so stopped and I did slow breathing exercises. I decided to practice piano and get my mind off that illusive notebook, which I knew would turn up when I wasn't looking for it. I did some housework, feeling pleased with the results; moreover, I drank a healthy smoothie and the notebook did turn up. Sounds great doesn't it?

However, as I sat down to rest and catch my second wind, I began to disintegrate into a frustrated, frazzled mess. I felt impatient with myself and what I was doing on the computer. Puzzled at my disintegration into chaos, I felt like throwing my hands up in the air and I grunted my frustration with a loud, "Arghhh." Then, God's Holy Spirit spoke within me, "Read your Bible." So this time, I listened, and I obeyed. Peace, peace -- I knew I needed peace within, and I received it. How? I read God's word and rested in Him: His precious word is so very true:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
