Thy kingdom come. Looking out my prayer window this morning,
I think perhaps it has.
A clear blue sky, no wind, daffodils bobbing gently in a
light breeze. The birds chattering and singing continuously. No traffic on the
road. Peace.
Most of the time, most of us don’t live in such a place.
Most of the time we are navigating stormy seas of one type or another.
Relationships, circumstances, financial challenges, bereavements, anxieties.
And even though I gaze out at such peace, my life just now reflects the tempest
rather than the calm.
Jesus invites us to bring all our anxieties to him, and he
will give us that peace which passes all understanding. Somehow in the midst of
wild storms, we can walk as though under blue skies hearing birds chirping happily.
I know this to be true; it still takes will power and faith to claim it moment
by moment.
May you find such faith today, and may I, too.
