I hear the Lord say:

Each day can be overwhelming – but it is another day, just like days past and days to come. Each day, you make a choice. And each choice wears a groove in your mind, a running thought, “Can I get it all done? There’s not enough time.” 

I offer you a new thought: “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.”  Bring to mind the Scripture: “May the peace of Christ rule in your heart.” Let these thoughts take precedence. Let their promises be your priority. Then rest will enter your mind and peace will enter your spirit.

Choose: Joy, not strife, Peace, not panting, Rest, not rushing, Calm, not catastrophizing.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,

will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.     

        Philippians 4:7  ESV
