Me:\u00a0 Are you having a good day?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Yes, and I have been waiting to hear from you.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Well, here I am and I will share.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book Rx for Worry A Thankful Heart by James P. Gills, M.D.<\/p>\n

There’s not question that our greatest fulfillment and peace is to be found in the unseen and the eternal.\u00a0 Yet it’s very difficult to sustain deep faith and trust.\u00a0 So often we sacrifice the unseen and the eternal for the very temporary and relatively worthless activities of the present.\u00a0 Maintaining deep faith violates our normal, human way of thinking–of wanting to be independent and self-sufficient, desiring to take care of ourselves.\u00a0 Faith in God is faith in the supernatural—God’s power beyond the natural world.\u00a0 This is not a mental trick or gimmick.\u00a0 We may not understand because it’s mystical.\u00a0 But we know, full of faith, that He helps us because He knows us.\u00a0 After all, He’s the one who made us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes, our focus right now is on the unseen and we are to use our faith and not to fear.\u00a0 God will not lose and he always keeps His promises.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Isaiah 26:3<\/p>\n

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