It’s not just a catalyst, but the center

Philippians 4:6-7 – Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Years ago I made a real effort to memorize some verses. I did it for myself, that I would know the power and relevance of the bible. I did it for others, that I could be able to share truth and not conjecture or just what I thought. Yesterday, I needed it for me.

I had outpatient surgery yesterday. I have to be honest and say it was little nerve racking. I haven’t needed a lot of medical attention over the years, but as you get older, I guess it comes up more and more. It wasn’t anything too major.

I had to be put to sleep for the procedure. I didn’t know what to expect and nervous. This scripture kept going through my mind. So thankful for the power of God’s very own word’s in needed moments.

It’s not just a catalyst to help through difficult times, but the center of a life formed by God.
