A Heart at Peace

A heart at peace gives life to the body,

but envy rots the bones.

Proverbs 14:30

I'm in an awkward season of a life. A season where "everyone" is progressing into that next, new, exciting time and I'm "stuck" in last year's fashion, so to speak.

Through all of this, God is rather hilarious. I surrender an area of life, right? You think that would be enough. But no. Next moment, the Lord wants to see how much I really surrendered. It's as if God is saying, "Okay Jenn, you gave me this, now what's your response going to be if several of your friends within your close community get what you long for?" Boom. Oh, my heart's need to be at peace always. Peace like a river. Not some little bubbly brook, but a raging river with both high class rapids and calm waters.

Oh Lord, transform me to have a heart at peace - a heart not shaken by treacherous waters, but a heart that responds to your loving commands while passing through the rapids.

A heart at peace - my heart's cry.
