"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." ~Isaiah 26:3

I don't know why God gives us stress and anxiety. It seems to fill our lives and keeps us from doing and being what he needs us to be. The word of our Lord gives us peace. Prayer gives us peace. When I keep these two things in my life it helps me keep my mind steadfast and free (for the most part) of stress and anxiety. I recently went through 7 months of being unemployed. This was challenging to say the least. I don't know what I would have done without prayer, the word, and encouraging loving people around me.
Dear Lord, thank you for giving us everything we need to keep our mind steadfast and peaceful. I ask for your presence and the presence of others to help free us of the stresses and anxiety this world always seems to provide. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
