"Trust Me in the midst of a messy day. Your inner calm - your Peace in My Presence - need not be shaken by what is going on around you. Though you live in this temporal world. Your innermost being is rooted and grounded in eternity. When you start to feel stressed, detach yourself from the disturbance around you. Instead of desperately striving to maintain order and control in your little world, relax and remember that circumstances cannot touch My Peace.

Seek My Face, and I will share MY mind with you, opening your eyes to see things from My perspective. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not be afraid. The Peace I give is sufficient for you.

John 16:33; Ps 105:4; John 14:27"

How to relate this to my weight loss journey?

Well I know when my day is going crazy at work and very stressful. I long for sugar and soda. The reason why I do this Jesus Calling devotions is to start train my mind to do what God wants me to do, instead of turning to food. In this devotion it clearly states what I need to do in a crazy day at work instead of going to food. I need to turn to God and ask for His Peace in the middle of the craziness and stress.

Good Morning Father, only you know what today holds. Please help me get through today and to remember Your words if there is craziness. Give me Your Peace Father. Thank you for bring here for me. I love your Father, In Jesus Name, Amen.



What did you get out of today's devotion?

    i could have used this yesterday as i failed to turn to God for His help. instead i found myself carrying around all life's anxieties and troubles all day. a heavy heart, for sure. but, what an uplifting message for today. a new day, a new perspective with God focus instead of human focus. thank you for releasing me to God's favor today. have a blessed day~

    This devotion today spoke to my fear of failure again. Food is my comfort when I should go to God for comfort. When I am out of focus spiritually I am out of focus in every area of my life.

    I like Psalm 56:3-4 "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?" ESV

    It is God I need to turn to for every need....HE is the only answer.
    Thank you for adding me to this group!
