Pursuing PeaceSýnishorn

"At peace with the future" Do you have peace about the future? Sleepless nights, stress and anxiety may prove otherwise. Many voices ask for our attention. One voice says, “Prove you are a good person.” Another voice says, “You’d better be ashamed of yourself.” There also is a voice that says, “Nobody really cares about you,” and another, “Be sure to become successful, popular, and powerful.” But underneath all these often very noisy voices is a still, small voice that says, “You are my Beloved, my favor rests on you.” That’s the voice we need to hear most of all. We need to stop placing our trust in our own ambitions and put our trust completely in God, finding peace in the future God has for us. African Proverb: A man with too much ambition cannot sleep in peace.

Then write what you need from God to achieve your desires and what things you are willing to let go of or things you sense you need to offer to Him.
