Organized? Not.

LORD, I like things neat, clean and in order.

I like organization and plans.

I like clear lines.

But.

My life is not that way.

My life is messy.

It was messy before Rick died.

But goodness!

How messy it has become since he died!

I have fought the messiness day after day.

Little by little.

And I am no closer to having a neat life than I was the day he died.

I sit here this morning with probably more questions, and less answers, than I have ever had in my life.

Then, this morning, I read these words:

"Instead of desperately striving to maintain order and control in your little world, relax and remember that circumstances cannot touch the Peace of GOD."

Teach me O LORD, to seek YOUR Face.

Open my eyes to see things from YOUR Perspective.

Teach me O LORD, how to not let my heart be troubled, and to not be afraid.

YOUR Peace is enough.

YOUR Grace is enough.

: John 16:33 – I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have Peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart, I have overcome the world.

• LORD, I needed to read these words this morning. Thank YOU for YOUR Promises.

: Psalm 105:4 – Seek the Lord and His Strength; seek His Presence continually!

• LORD, teach me HOW . . . continually.

: John 14:27 – 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.

• LORD, HOW? Please. Teach me HOW. Please, Help me.
