Distractions sometimes divert my focus. At times, waves threaten to submerge me. Yet it is precisely in those moments that I need to trust my Father all the more.
With His arms underneath me, I am held.
I am secure.
I am sustained.
I am free to live life on the peaceful side of the storm.

Don’t You Care?
Does God care about my storm? Absolutely. Does His heart hurt when I hurt? You can be sure of it. Does He worry about the storm? Not one bit. Because He is in the midst and He knows the outcome. He cares about our pain, our troubles, our sorrows, but He doesn’t stay awake at night fretting about them – because they are all under His control.
God is on our Side
That’s the bottom line, isn’t it? If we know Jesus as our Savior, we can rest assured the LORD is on our side. He is fighting our battles. The odds may be stacked against us, humanly speaking, yet we are victors because, from heaven’s viewpoint, the scales lean in God’s favor. It’s not until we fully grasp this truth that we can stop striving and allow God to be God.
My Little Quiet Place
I am convinced that God truly cares about the small things in our lives.
A Quiet Soul
God is fully trustworthy. He won’t ever let us down. His promises are one hundred percent dependable. He invites us to cast those worries and anxious thoughts on Him. In exchange, He will impart His peace, the kind of peace that asserts, “I have stilled and quieted my soul” – my heavenly Abba is taking care of this.

Waiting Lessons
God bids me ‘be still’ and wait patiently. And while I wait, He’s hard at work, shifting everything into its rightful place according to His perfect plan. Which requires me to be still, trusting He has heard my pleas and will act in His time and according to His will. My timing is not the same as His. But that’s okay because His plans are immeasurably better than anything I could ask or imagine. While I’m focusing on the here and now, He’s focusing on eternity.
