Have you ever felt like you lost your sense of peace? I mean, it’s normal to feel out of it, but sometimes it just seems like that lack of peace doesn’t seem to stop. One thing after another doesn’t seem to go your way, and you feel like it’s only going to get worse.
Maybe you received bad news, or perhaps you are anxious about something. Either way, your sense of peace is now gone, and now you’re just scrambling to get things back in order.
I know what what that feels like. I also know that is not the way we are supposed to live (and this is coming from a “worrier.)
It doesn’t matter if you are concerned about a health issue for yourself or your loved one, or that job that you really wanted. What I understand that when we lose our peace of mind, God can’t work in us at that moment.
Over time, I have collected some quotes, and reminders that helps me put things back in the correct perspective. Being part of the Church Militant, we know that there is a lot of things that we cannot do on our own, so it’s always to good to call in reinforcements.
Yes, we’re going to worry about things, even be anxious about them— but if we ask our Father for guidance, and then be patient to listen for the answers, we will see that there is nothing we have to worry about.
