I believe, help me my unbelief has been floating through my thoughts so I Googled it to see how close I am to the written word, and I'm surprisingly close:
Mark 9:23-24 New King James Version (NKJV):
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
Equally wonderful to me is all things are possible to him who believes. That is one of my favorites, and it seems whenever I feel that my thoughts are in league against me, that comes to me. It came to me once in a comic strip! When I was badly in need of some encouraging words. The Father knows our needs.
It's a comfort to realize that seeking perfect peace is the proverbial fool's errand. Peace...perfect peace...may only come through the acceptance of worry as God's reins on our ego. Which will be with us until three days after we're dead, no doubt.
Thank you.
