DO YOU WANT PEACE TODAY?

By Anita Mondragon
 
 
When I got up this morning to do the regular things…make the bed, let the dog out, feed the animals, make breakfast, etc. my mind was in a fog!  That’s when I remembered the Promise Box!  As I reached for a Truth that would help me through this day, I prayed, “Lord, I don’t even know what to ask you for!  I’m exhausted, irritable, and down-right cranky this morning…so just help me.  Give me whatever promise I need…just for today…just for this moment…just for right now!” 
 
 Here’s what He gave me:
 
“I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” -John 10:10
 
Well, that certainly changed my mind set!  God does not want me to merely exist…He wants me to thrive!  So, why am I still wallowing in the woes of yesterday??  After all, I KNOW His mercies are new every morning! (See Lamentations 3:22-24)
 
So I knelt before Him in the throne room of my heart, and asked Him to give me peace and an abundant life today.  I have to tell you…that prayer made all the difference in the world! 
 
THINGS ARE STARTING TO LOOK BETTER!
