The Peace of God

thepeaceofgod

Said the Robin to the Sparrow:
“I should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and worry so?”

Said the Sparrow to the Robin:
“Friend, I think that it must be
That they have no Heavenly Father
Such as cares for you and me.”
– Elizabeth Cheney

You can’t control everything. Try as you might, plan as you might, you’d still encounter things that never even crossed your mind.

So don’t waste time fretting. Quite often, the things we feared don’t happen at all. On the other hand, things happen that we never even feared.

Why waste your strength for what you could never even predict? Conserve your powers so you may have the ability to deal with what you will truly face.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB)
