Peace

My mind struggles to remain focused these days. It’s not like I have a million and ten things on my to-do list: it’s more like I simply have a bit more variety in my to-do list. Well, that’s not entirely the reason either because most of those items have always been on the list (though I guess I do have a bit more than, say, last year). It’s more like the aftereffects of a cacophonous collision/explosion and reordering/reorienting of priorities & responsibilities and desires & hopes through surrender, obedience, and trust.

I need to let go – of doubts, of fears – and have faith that He will carry me through – for the sake of those whom I love, for the sake of the gospel. May my heart remain true to the commitments I’ve made for this year.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:6-7]
