Finding Peace in the Midst of Chaos
As I sat in the kitchen with Auntie Lorna, a woman who has become like family to me, I was reminded of the power of faith in the face of adversity. Despite her 78 years, Auntie Lorna’s zest for life is inspiring, and her visits always bring a sense of joy and laughter into my world.
A Life of Challenges
Auntie Lorna has faced her fair share of struggles, but her resilience is a testament to her unwavering trust in God. As we chatted and prepared a meal together, she opened up about the concerns that weigh heavily on her heart. Her words were a poignant reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.
A Nugget of Wisdom
In a moment of vulnerability, Auntie Lorna shared a profound truth that has stayed with me. When faced with overwhelming worry and stress, she simply “sent Jesus to the door.” This beautiful, simple phrase is a powerful reminder that we don’t have to face our struggles alone.
Casting Our Cares
As Auntie Lorna so eloquently put it, when worry and stress come knocking, we can send Jesus to answer the door. It’s not always easy, but it’s a simple yet profound act of faith. By casting our cares on Him, as 1 Peter 5:7 reminds us, we can find peace and strength in the midst of chaos.
God’s Abounding Grace
In 2 Corinthians 9:8, we’re reminded that God is able to make all grace abound to us, providing us with everything we need to abound in every good work. What a comforting promise! When we send Jesus to the door, we can trust that He will provide us with the strength and guidance we need to navigate life’s challenges.
A Heartfelt Prayer
As I reflect on Auntie Lorna’s wisdom, I’m reminded of the importance of prayer in my own life. I pray that God would answer the door of my heart when worry and stress try to enter. I thank Him for the promise of His care and for the people He has placed in my life to share light on my pathway.
May We Abound in Every Good Work
May we remember to send Jesus to the door when worry and stress come knocking. May we trust in God’s abounding grace and find peace in the midst of chaos. And may we abound in every good work, knowing that He is always with us, guiding and directing us. Amen.
