Facing Challenges With God

Knowing I am divinely protected I am at peace.

Today I am struggling with a difficult situation that means I am not at peace with.  I am turning it over to God.  God will guide me in how to handle it as long as I ask his will.

God guides, supports and protects me as I move through my day.  When I face a challenge or uncertainty, I take a moment to look beyond what lies before me.  I refrain from pondering all the "what Ifs' and turn my thoughts to God.  Through the very act of remembering the presence of God, I realize peace.

Today I am turning my situation over to God, it is yours.  When the "what ifs" pop in my head I will stop and remember I turned it over to you and I will not take it back.

As I turn my attention away from the problem, I flip the switch that connects me to the One--a constant, bright warm protective presence.  Love wells up in me.  I feel calm and serene.  Circumstances come and go, but God's love dwells in me at all times and in that love, I am safe and secure.

I do love and accept the people in my life.  I don't always agree with their behavior but I know they are children of God just like me. God loves them unconditionally and so should I.  I treat people the way I want to be treated.

Because you have made the Lord your refuge, the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you.  Psalm 91: 9-10
