Peace, like a river, attendeth my soul

I think that's how that song goes. From "It is Well"?

That's how I'm feeling at the end of this week. The week started with such fear and trepidation over my husband's lack of work and wondering how we'd pay our bills and keep a roof over our heads. I could hardly think of anything else.

The situation hasn't changed (except we found out the company won't have work for several months due to damage from Hurricane Ike), but I have. I had mind knowledge that God was in control, but had a hard time transferring that to heart knowledge.

Today I feel calm. I almost feel like something is wrong with me that I'm not worrying, but I just know in my heart that God has promised to supply our needs. I don't know how He will do it, but I guess I will find out. While my husband busily went about applying for jobs today, I just set aside my worries and fears.

My sister told me tonight that she has been practicing something that has been helping her. Each time she thinks of something that worries her, she immediately prays for it. Kind of like replacing worry with prayer. It's a good idea for all of us.
