Missing Peace

Sometimes I don’t know which direction I’m going
until I get in the car and
drive…….

Sometimes I don’t know what’s on my heart
until I start to write.

sometimes I don’t know what’s on my mind
until I open my mouth and speak
and my Father gives the words.

Sometimes I don’t know what I’m missing
until the piece presents itself
and I realize, ‘wow, there it is!’

Then I am at peace.

Philippians4:6,7
Amplified
“6 Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything,
but in every circumstance and in everything,
by prayer and petition (definite requests),
with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
7 And God’s peace [shall be yours,
that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ,
and so fearing nothing from God and
being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is,
that peace] which transcends all understanding
shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
