Today, I encountered a life change. Today, bricks of waiting, praying, un-sure-ity, and scared to death bravery finally made an appearance.

I had to say “I quit”.

Now, what you don’t know is 9 months ago, this thing I quit was an answer to prayer. A picture of God’s provision and goodness to me. But today and after months of struggle, heart and soul searching, I quit.

And you know what? I am hopeful, at peace, and cautiously optimistic.

There is a “Pandemic” going on. A lot of people are in a much worse condition than I (and my family) am. But does that negate God’s ability to provide? Nope.

People are in panic mode, the world (it seems) is ending. Does that negate God’s ability to bring peace? Nope.

In the background of it all, there is one who stands outside of time, panic, and disaster. He stands, not wringing his hands wondering “oh what am I going to do?”.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

John 14:27 ESV

How is the world giving peace right now? And how do you see your gracious heavenly Father giving peace?
