Has anyone ever felt like you are in a battle for your mind and life is spinning out of control? To be brutally honest I think everyone has felt like that at one point and time. That is why I am so glad we have Jesus, who is the Prince of Peace. You can call on his name and he will no matter what walk into the room or your situation, and right every wrong and bring peace into it. Matthew 8:23-27 says ” Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept up over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him saying ” Master Master were going to drown”. He woke up and said ” Oh you of little faith why are you so afraid?. Then he got up and rebuked the wind and the waves and suddenly there was a great calm. The disciples were amazed, ” Who is this man that even the winds and the waves obey him?’. Wow what a great passage of scripture that we can always come back to when our life feels like it’s out of control like that storm, and nothing is going right or you feel far from God. You just have to call on his name and he will come with his outstretched mighty hand saying ” Peace be still ” and right away you will feel more peace then you can ever imagine and have a sound mind as well even though the circumstances haven’t changed yet but they will, maybe in one moment or his perfect timing. He is always fighting for us, protecting us, and advocating for us, he feels exactly what we feel because he was human too. He wants us to be prosperous in life and to not lack, and when we mourn he mourns with us because he is a personal God. Some days when my life feels too heavy, my heart just cries out to Jesus, and he in a moment is right there soothing every worry and fear, and giving me a peace that transcends all understanding and helping me to understand I don’t need to figure out everything right away, just one step at a time and one day at a time. He is an all powerful and loving God, who is our protector and our defender, and our souls are worth more to him than anything else. There is resurrection life in all he does.
Dear Jesus,
