He Holds My Uncertainties

by | Oct 13, 2013 | Prayer | 14 comments

The Lord is my peace. I shall not live in anxiety. He puts me under His wing of comfort and calms my spirit within me. He takes all my anxieties on Himself and helps me to focus on Him. Yes, though I walk through a time of grave uncertainties and fierce anxieties, I will not fret – for You are my peace. Your Word and Your Presence calm me now. You hold my uncertainties in the palm of Your hand. You soothe my anxious mind – You smooth my wrinkled brow. Surely serenity and trust in You shall fill me all the days of my life. And I shall keep my mind stayed on You forever.

(as quoted by Linda Dillow in Calm My Anxious Heart, page 204)

    “The Lord is my peaces…” such a beautiful truth to cling too!

    I’m so grateful that He holds those uncertainties. I may worry about them from time to time (well, I probably do it more often than that!) but He holds on to them and works for my good in them. Great post today!

    Have read the book about 5 years ago. Nice to see that. AND the photo is great. Nice mix… to share the Lord, pour the Lord in our hearts and everyday lives. Thank you.

    Carrie – It is so true that her books can be read again & again. I pull them off my shelf every now & then (like I did when I read this post) to soak up a thought. I can always find a chapter that speaks to me. Thanks for stopping by!
    Have a great Tues.,
