I was getting rather stressed about today - how was I going to fit everything into the hours that I had? I felt flustered and a little out of control. My groans and prayers were on my lips as I went to sleep last night, and before I could even open my eyes this morning, I realised that God had undertaken to answer them.
As I turned on my phone this morning, a message came through asking to postpone one of my appointments - and another message offered some help during the recording of my sermon - and one of my appointments went way better than I have thought, freeing up time for unexpected surprises and delays. While, all of this was happening, I was reminded of this ONE IMPORTANT fact:
"Many are the plans in a man's heart, by God directs our steps" - Proverbs 19:21
This left me with the humble reminder that I am not in charge - God is! Hopefully I am able to remember this lesson the next time I feel as if the edges of life are falling apart.
Can you relate to this at all?
Proverbs 19:23 - The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble.

Any time my heart is pounding in my chest cause of stress I pray to God for guidance. It' better then yoga or any other stressrelief technique . It's just to be able to surrender to Jezus . But I still have to remind myself to do it . We are not alone.
Thanks for the great thoughts. Yes, the Lord is with us all the time and it is good to remember that He is in charge.
