For the last few months life has been a whirlwind juggling personal issues and still tending to the day to day responsibilities. I was seeking answers and solutions and as each day went by I became more discouraged. I have been anxious, upset and frustrated. I have prayed and prayed only to find no clear solution but rather road bumps and hurdles. But at the same time I am experience a nagging comfort that made no sense. Why would I feel any comfort when I have found no real solution yet? But as I read this mornings verse I am understanding more. In order to begin solving my problems I need to calm down and think with a clear head. We cannot just expect God to snap his fingers and our will be done. The solutions to life’s problems and frustrations can be a learning experience so that we may have a better opportunity to avoid repeating the mistakes that put us in that situation. So if a sense of calm is God’s answer to my prayers then it must be His will that I be so and able to better comprehend what is happening in my life. I feel He expects me to be part of the solution so that I can grow.

Heavenly Father thank you for another morning of life. Thank you for the calming nature of your grace. Guide me to do your will as I seek peace and completeness in my life. I forgive my enemies as you have forgiven me. May you bless all who read this. Amen
