"Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

It is entirely true. When someone is in the presence of God, there's pure peace. It's this thick atmosphere, yet it's the lightest thing in the world. And that's just it, God leads us to green pastures, and still waters. It's pure paradise, and freedom. It says in the word that He "crowns us with love and compassion, a paradise crown." He is our Shepard, and we don't need one thing when we have Him. He satisfies all our needs. He is the light that we follow. He is everything. Sometimes we tend to forget that when something called, "life" gets in the way.

None of us are perfect, and we all have our days. We all have our high's and low's in life. But God will always remain. He was, and is, and is to come.

Some of us tend to be so worried about life and what it holds for tomorrow and all of that.

Well Phillipians 4:6-7 MSG says:

"Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life."


As human beings, it's hard NOT to worry! We deal with everyday life, and people, and jobs, school, and everything else in between! It's just a heart of surrender that we need to have. And trust in Him. When we surrender everything to the one who created us, things just click. He takes our lives in his hands, and he promises to give us hope and a future! Many times we are scared to surrender because of the doubts in our head. the "But when will it happen?" or the classic "what if' s" and, "buts." But we have to remember that we should not worry about tomorrow too much, because we don't even know what it holds. When we get into God's presence, things change. You feel an overwhelming love and peace. That's what happens when we put God in the center. We have peace. We get to know him better, and the more we get to know Him, and spend more time with Him, the more we understand who our Father truly is and how He is for us, and NOT against us.

God is our Daddy. He's always looking out for what's the best for us.

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

That's right. He wants us to cast out all our worries on Him. When we cast it all down, things become lighter. And the word even says to cast out ALL our anxiety because HE cares for us. When we let Jesus take the wheel of our lives, it's amazing the ride he'll take us on.

Isaiah 26:3 MSG says: "People with their minds set on you, you keep completely whole, Steady on their feet, because they keep at it and don't quit"

When we keep ourselves focused on God and allow him to work deep in us, God keeps us steady.

Peace makes us whole, and peace is Jesus Christ.
-Angelis
