There are times in life when reflection is necessary.
In the middle of the night or wee hours of the morning seems a good time for me as I am far removed from the 'busyness' of daily life and can concentrate and pray with clarity.
Yesterday's early morning hours was one of those times for me...
It was a joy to mentally put some pieces of the puzzle together which I have been struggling with, off and on, for a month of so....
God worked a miracle in my mind and soul as I wrote on paper my thoughts in honesty to Him. The 'heaviness of responsibility' melted away once I defined the dilemma or struggle within. It actually seemed inconsequential.
Because in the process I received a great PEACE which set everything to rest and eliminated the thoughts that were totally 'wasted energy'.
My focus became clear...crystal clear.
In 'baring my soul' I received oneness with my Heavenly Father which resulted in an answer to prayer which brought me great 'peace of mind'....
Why am I ever surprised that this happens?
Why do I wait so long at times in order to 'reflect' on life and ask for 'help' in thinking rightly?
Our son, Chuck, carved a piece of wood for me years ago that said....
Why Worry? When you can pray!
That is it in a nutshell...That is what happened yesterday early morn...
before going to church I had already had....church...

John 14:27 LB Jesus said, "I leave you peace: My peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world does. So don't let your hearts be troubled or afraid!"
Colossians 3: 15 LB....Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking because you were called to...have peace.
