A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting in a planning meeting in the church sanctuary that will be hosting our new community recovery program. I looked down at the pew in front of me and felt all the air leave my lungs. Someone had left their camouflage colored Bible in the pew-back book holder.
I automatically panicked, "Was he here?" My ex-husband has a camo Bible. Of course, he wasn't there. He's never been to the town that we live in now. He's in prison. It was a random Bible that someone had accidentally left there. I even checked the inscription page to make sure his name wasn't there.
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
Whenever you have anxiety about anything, tell Him. Only He can give you peace.
I took a deep breath and gave it to God.
Inhale. Exhale.
