COME TO ME, and rest in My Peace. My Face is shining upon you, in rays of peace transcending understanding. Instead of trying to figure everything out yourself, you can relax in the Presence of the One who already knows everything. As you lean on Me in trusting dependence, you feel peaceful and complete. This is how I designed you to live: in close communion with Me.
When you are around other people, you tend to cater to their expectations–real or imagined. You feel enslaved to pleasing them, and your awareness of My Presence grows dim. Your efforts to win their approval eventually exhaust you. You offer these people dry crumbs rather than the living water of My Spirit flowing through you. This is not My way for you!
Stay in touch with Me, even during your busiest moments. Let My Spirit give you words of grace as you live in the Light of My Peace.
Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
Peace is the core of joy. It is also God’s antidote to the negative potentialities that life’s challenges raises around us and within us. It does not have to be understood or created because it is there waiting for us.
By trusting God, being ever-aware of God’s presence and our relationship to God, we may find that peace. It is what all humans are truly seeking in their daily lives regardless of their activities, goals, dreams or fears.
Imagine leaning on God, free of anxiety, doubt and fear; resting in the radiant light of unconditional love, a child of God walking with God in the garden each day.
Well, guess what? It’s not your imagination. It is the real path to the joy that flows from true peace. It is available to us at any instant, anywhere, anytime. All we have to do is receive it.
In the sunshine of your love,
