Finding Peace Right Where You Are

Nature has a way of quieting the noise of the world.

The birds chirping outside.

The gentle falling of the rain.

The sound of the waves as you walk along the beach.

It is hard to describe how almost instantly that sound calms my spirit.

Standing by the ocean brings me such peace.

Maybe it is because during these times I pause to listen and let my worries go.

I can’t always get to the beach, lovely as that would be, to find that peace.

But there is another place I have access to every day.

No car ride or flights required.

It’s in His Presence.

A place where I can sit and calm the storms in my mind.

It is the place where I know I can always find peace and restoration.

“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.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Friend, if you want to experience His peace today, take the time to sit with Him for a while.

He is always near.
