Lenten reflection by Cindy Jones

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:6-7

The verse above is one I keep in a file on my computer and when I get anxious I will go and read it for comfort. Today is one of those days when I told myself to stop, take a minute and give God praise. You might wonder why on earth in the midst of chaos, phones ringing and clients waiting, I would stop and give thanks to God.  God is the one who gives me the strength to endure the hectic pace. He is the one who gives me the wisdom to know I need to lean on him and He is the one who shoulders I stand on when I can’t stand alone. When I give myself the gift of solitude and prayer with God, it replenishes my spirit which the world has depleted.
