Reaching Beyond Our Ourselves in the Quest for Peace

A relationship with God can be based on so much more than finding a sense of peace and equilibrium within our own spirit based on our circumstances. He does care for you and asks you to cast all your anxieties on him! Sometimes we focus so much on ridding ourselves of the matters that worry us and don't recognize that dwelling on these thoughts consume our minds and distract us from moving forward. Once we refocus our attention outward, peace awaits in the opportunities to bless and serve others. Being "blessed" does not mean that circumstances are situated for your comfort and happiness, but it's an acknowledgement of god's hand within your situation good or bad.
