Yes; pain will sting you,
bad things will happen, people will hurt you, and your heart will sometimes be burdened with heavy
loads. BUT GOD offers to meet you in the
messy thick of it. Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke
upon you and learn from me, for I am
gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Matthew 11:28-29)
Let's Pray:
Dear Lord, I admit that I sometimes fear the unexpected and do not fully trust in your perfect will. I know that you see the end from the beginning and that your thoughts are not my thoughts (Is. 55:8-9) Forgive me for my lack of faith and please teach me to trust in you so that when the unexpected storms of life come, I will expect peace in the midst of those storms (Mark 4:37-40) knowing that you are near, you hear my cries, and you are with me and for me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

According to this verse (Mark
4:37-40), "perfect peace" comes from focusing our minds upon the Lord.
What a promise that is! Find some verses about God's nature and His promises to you and write them in a journal or a
special place where you can refer to them
when life hits you with the unexpected. Use these verses to meditate on God through your trials to experience His
peace!
