Lent, Peace, and Thanks

Gratitude eats anxiety for breakfast every day of the week. No matter the circumstance--you can always find something to be thankful for.

— JMeyer —

A couple of days ago I found myself losing peace over something I had no control over. I quickly regained my peace once I turned the situation over to God and opened my heart to the things around me for which I was thankful.

Looking for peace? Turn your anxiety over to God and give thanks…it works every time.

Philippians 4:6, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”


Journal your thoughts:

What am I grateful for today?

In what way(s) will I bring light to the world today?

What will I deny myself so I may draw closer to God and gain more peace in my life today?

Prayer:

God, I offer myself to Thee—To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always! Amen. (Third Step Prayer – Chapter 5, pg.63, The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous)

P.E.A.C.E.
