The Way of Peace

Here was today's message in Jesus Calling:
I am training you in steadiness. Too many things interrupt your awareness of Me. I know that you live in a world of sight and sound, but you must not be a slave to those stimuli. Awareness of Me can continue in all circumstances, no matter what happens. This is the steadiness I desire for you.
Don't let unexpected events throw you off course. Rather, respond calmly and confidently, remembering that I am with you. As soon as something grabs your attention, talk with Me about it. Thus I share your joys and your problems; I help you cope with whatever is before you. This is how I live in you and work through you. This is the way of Peace.
Psalm 112:7
They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I found such comfort that this was today's message for me on this day of my doctor's appointment. There should be no fear in waiting for this appointment because I trust an incredible, loving and merciful God. I also loved that it said, "I share your joys and your problems." I know God has not forgotten us in this journey to you. I know He is apart of this struggle and challenge, so that when we rejoice you, our miracle, He will be part of that joy too.

I go into this appointment with an open heart and open mind, ready to trust whatever plan God has for us today.
