“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Isaiah 26:3
This verse is the only explanation I can find as to how I
can function… how I keep getting up every morning and putting one foot in from
of the other. Sometimes I feel so guilty for having peace and functioning in my
daily life, when my loved one does not. When someone I love so much is suffering
so severely, how can I keep moving forward and not be overcome with sorrow,
grief and fear?
I cannot change my loved one… as much as I would like to and
as much as I’ve tried… I cannot fit him into the box of what I think he should
be.
God has put a calling on my life, and that calling is not to be paralyzed in constant sorrow, grief and fear. I was born to know God and believe
Him, to glorify Him, to find satisfaction in Him, to experience His peace and
enjoy His presence. (Breaking Free by Beth Moore)
So, I keep trusting—often a daily struggle—and my mind is
steadfast, and He keeps me in perfect peace.

I would love to hear from you! Let me know what you think and how I can pray for you. Most of us are carrying some pretty heavy baggage and the good news is, you don't have to carry it alone! You can lay it at the feet of Jesus, and sometimes we need help just letting go of our baggage and not picking it up again. We're in this together!
