Choosing Peace

Peace is something I struggle with daily. It is easier for me to grab and hold onto the the fear, worry, anxiety, and any stress that this world throws at me, because that is what I am used to, it is what I have done my whole life. What is hard is to surrender, to release, and lay it at the foot of the cross. Because once that I lay my burdens at the cross, God is right there to throw them away from me and hold me. So, why is th...at so hard? I mean if you look at it, it should be the other way around. It should be easy to pick peace over fear. It should be easy to lay down those fear and burdens at the cross. And it should be a struggle to pick up any stress, worry, fear, heartbreak that is from this world and not from God.

Today, I choose peace. I choose to lay it down at the foot of the cross and leave it there. On Monday morning I choose to live in the peace that Christ gives me constantly, and I will continue to choose peace. Every morning, every hour, every minute, every moment, I will choose peace.

If you find yourself this morning struggling with anything from this world that the enemy is trying to use to steal your peace, I am praying that you will choose peace. That you will bring it to the foot of the cross and lay it down. That is what I had to do last night, I went to a room by myself, played one of my favorite praise songs, got on my face and prayed, praise, and prayed some more. I asked God to take my fear and worries away and to bring me to where my trust is without borders.

I pray you find your peace today. I pray you feel God's embrace around you. I pray you feel His love for you. You are strong, you are worthy, you are beautiful, you are loved, and you are a child of the Risen King. You are royalty.

Choose peace! I will be praying that whatever is on your heart, whatever is trying to take your peace, whatever is hurting you, I pray that Jesus will meet you where you are and work so mightly to cover you with peace, strength, love, and clarity!
