rest

Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, of everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. ~ Phillipians 4:6-7 (Message)

How hard this act is--

of the mind,

the will,

the emotions,

and yet, how rewarding

to know,

to rest,

to abide

in Christ's redemptive work.

This life isn't always going to be peachy.

Sometimes you do get thrown a cowpie.

It's what you do with that counts.
