“The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard against your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7
Thought for the day – Sometimes you have to go deep within yourself and open your heart to God to gain serenity.
I always thought The Serenity Prayer was for alcoholics but once I studied it, I learned it had meaning for me too and it truly helped bring me peace during my separation and divorce. Accepting what I couldn’t change in my marriage opened my heart to so much: reality, loss, fear and many changes. But the peace God granted me by doing so was well worth it all. While He guarded my heart and mind, I could gain the courage needed to keep moving forward through all of the difficult changes. I admit having the wisdom to know difference in what you can or cannot change is sometimes the hardest part. Especially because knowing the difference, may mean you may have to let something go to live in peace.
Dear God, Thank you for the peace you have given me, it did surpass my understanding, and I do feel so protected ever since I realized what I had to accept in my life.
