Here's an example. The other day, shaken and at the peak of my stress limit, (after a particularly grueling conversation with my mother) I actually had to sit down & quiet myself. Collapsing on the couch, I just let all the debris that is clogging up my life fall aside, and sat there in absolute quiet, except for that meek, lost voice inside of me beseeching the Lord for some way thru this human maze.
Suddenly, I realized that I was smiling, and more relaxed than I had been in months, No instant answers or cosmic, lightning-bolts revelations - just a sensation of being infused with serenity, fortitude & strength. This is a time when I will see only one set of footprints on the beach, and I rejoice in the knowledge that they belong to Him. Praise God for His Grace and His peace-I have received a most wonderous gift. May His Blessings always be upon you all.
