I’m always looking for a good read. I went to Walmart with my mom the other night and decided to buy this book. I picked it up and just started reading a few pages, it has short bible versus in it and then a paragraph that explains the verse. It has all types of stories that deal with everyday things like: emotions, fears, love, encouragement, contentment, faith, worship, hope, prayer, etc.. When I just need a break from work at my desk, I’ll skim through it. I use it for guidance with meditation, prayer, relaxation and peace of mind. These kinds of reads are always good to keep around when you just need a little pick me up. I can remember growing up, my mom always bought us little books like this. She would write a message in the inside and we would keep it in our nightstands. Sometimes she would send me little books like this when I lived in Baton Rouge just to tell me she was thinking about me. I guess that’s why I like to read them so much.<\/p>\n

So today I thought I’d share a little passage with you. They give an introduction, the bible verse, then an explanation.<\/p>\n

Focus on God, Not Circumstances<\/p>\n

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. ISAIAH 26:3<\/p>\n

Lord, so many times it seems as if a thief is trying to steal my peace. My circumstances can be overwhelming- and they shake me up. I don’t want to be robbed of happiness and emotional stability. I ask that You would keep me in perfect peace as I choose to put my eyes on You rather than on my problems. Let my mind be steady, not racing. Let my heart trust that You will see me though.<\/p>\n

Here’s a picture of the book is anyone thinks they may like it.<\/p>\n
