The description found in Psalm 27:5 truly speaks to me. At times I cry
out to my Heavenly Father to "come get me" and set me high above my
circumstances, bringing me close to Him The Father gave me a powerful visual to help me see He indeed is ALL I need as I travel through stressful times. Though I was pulled and stretched in many directions, I simply cried out to Him to restore my joy and peace-not to mention my sanity. In my journal, I wrote JESUS. Around His name, I wrote the names of events and people who were occupying my time. In doing so, I realized that the "things" that were occupying my time, min4 and energy (no matter how important) could easily steal my focus from Jesus.
When my focus shifts from Him, my energy is divided and my stress is
multiplied. As long as He is central to my thinking and my commitment,
I experience His peace arid joy-no matter what else is going on in my life.
When you keep your focus on Jesus, He fills you with a peace and joy
the world cannot give.
Hugs prayers and God bless
