Seriously, What Gives?

Do you ever just feel like Satan is picking on you? Like, your day starts off ok, but you can’t shake that feeling that he’s got it out for you. This was my day today. I couldn’t get through one problem without another one being right around the corner. It was exhausting. I wanted to have a good day, and I started out pretty good. Then, little annoyances started to happen. I couldn’t find my keys, and if you know me, I’m very repetitive. I try to put things in the same place all the time, and I try to stick to a certain schedule so that I don’t forget anything. After I found my keys, I was about to leave and my sister stopped me because my husband forgot his lunch. If I go a different way to work I can pass where he is. So I brought it to him. This was not my regular way to work. My radio station wasn’t coming in most of the way to work. My anxiety level was at a 4 and it was not even 7:00 am yet. So, in order to get to the point, I won’t even get into how work went. As you can imagine the entire day was full of little annoyances. By the time is was 12:00, I was a 10+ on the anxiety scale. Chaos. My brain was in a state of pure chaos. And as I’m writing this, I realized that I didn’t stop and take time to pray. My whole day was full of stress and I allowed it to be.

The point I’m trying to make is, no matter what is going on around you, you can choose to let God be the one to give you peace, or Satan be the one to turn your day into chaos.

God is calm. He sees the whole picture. When we get tunnel vision we forget that God is all around us. He can give us His peace. He can calm the storm. We just need to ask Him.

”And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7.
