My search for scriptures of God bringing peace led me to the
following. Exactly what I needed to
read! I have written this out and put it
in my calendar to read each day as often as I need from now until the 15th
of April….and beyond, of course. J
And the peace of God, which
transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus.
Philippians 4:7
(NIV)
With the crazy business of this tax season for me, I have
lost all peacefulness, and I am now to the point of just plain exhaustion. I do feel and see the end in sight; however,
at the same time I am feeling very impatient and grumpy with just wanting the
deadline to be here.
The really good thing about this job and this time of my
life is that I am now able to see that I may not be able to continue it until I
retire. During the last two months I
have taken some notes to myself'. My focus, once my life is back at a normal
pace, will be on reflecting, writing and doing a whole lot of praying about
where I would like my life to lead.
There are oh so many things that I want to change, and I do know now that
it is possible for me to do that.
Nothing is impossible when I have God on my side. I just need to make myself a priority and
follow my Father’s guidance as to where He is leading me.
I can do all this through him
who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13
(NIV)

Sometimes we just need to slow down and give ourselves some quiet. I saw another quote as I looked for a graphic that said something to the effect that we should not look outside ourselves but within ourselves for peace. I think that is a valid idea as long as we look at it from a magnifying glass that God is holding over the search area.

Thank you, Kelly. The pressure and pace would be overwhelming without His peace.
