Therapy for My Soul

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-

When life just gets to busy and full of things we cannot control, we must find things that can either distract us or attract us, right?  I have been thinking about this a lot lately.  I have to say I have a lot of distractions, but they really seem to just add to the insanity.  God is my ultimate attraction. I have found that focusing on God and the positives in my life really help.  It doesn’t make the burdens go away by any means, but it helps me to get through these seemingly rough patches.

I know that God is working in my life and the lives of each person in my family.  I know he is right by my side and will never leave me in the midst of all of our trials, I hold that close to my heart with both hands.   I just have to say that I pray that we will be coming through some of these trials with flying colors very soon.  It is true, that with the difficult times blessings do flow, we have experienced that with several of the trials in our lives right now, I would never trade the experiences and what we ‘got’ as a result.  It has made us stronger in our faith and brought us closer as a family.

I do see the end to a couple of the big burdens in our lives, however, I am most concerned with the ones completely out of our control:  health.

We are dealing with several health issues and they can be so draining and time consuming (doctor appointments).    I pray we get some good news soon once all of our scans and pathology reports come in.  Please pray for us.  I am officially passing the burden on to God and my precious praying friends.
