Longing

Dear Lord, there are times I just long so for your peace. I know its there waiting for me and I'm reaching out to grasp it...yet it seems to be eluding me right now. My mind goes places I want to avoid and the enemy surrounds me on every side. I read the Pslams and I know how David felt! It's discouraging and annoying and I want it to end.

Please send me your peace God. I covet it. I need it. I cry for it. And you have promised it.

Calm my restless spirit and ease my mind. Remind me that I have nothing to fear because I am in your hands. Keep me in your presence in a way that's palpable. I'm lonely in my heart because no one else knows what turmoil is there.

Dear Lord, I long for your peace.
