All Shook Up

You're all shook up.  Anger, frustration, and irritation are welling up inside of you and if you open your mouth, even a little bit, more than what you bargained for is going to come rushing out.  So don't say a word.  Hold your peace.  Get whatever has you discontented off of your chest by praying to God about it first.  Talk to him. Cry to him.  Tell him everything that is on your mind and then...shh...listen.  The presence of his gentle spirit will calm you.  God is flowing over in wisdom and he wants to pour over into us.  He may answer your concern with scripture from the Bible.  He may lead a friend to call you who will give you the answer you seek.  He may not say anything until you have settled down and you are ready to receive what he has to say.  Whatever he does, if you give the issue over to him, he will renew your peace of mind.  I have found experienced talking to God about a situation that I am up and in arms about and before I have completed my tete a' tete with the Lord, the situation is resolved.  It's not always that easy, but one thing is for sure.  When we need a shoulder to cry on, no one has a shoulder more willing and able to carry our burdens than the Lord.

Scripture:

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Prayer:

Lord your word says to call on you and you will show us great and unsearchable things that we don't know.  When there are things that we have in our heart that we are trying to hash out or get through, give us the wisdom to rely on you for the perfect resolution. You also say to seek peace and pursue it.  Help us to seek and pursue our peace through you.
