Circle of Peace

I received a new devotional book for Christmas this year from my BFF Laurie Velzen, entitled Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young.

Here's a passage I just read this morning:
"Come to me, and rest in My loving Presence.  You know that this day will bring difficulties, and you are trying to think your way through those trials.  As you anticipate what is ahead of you, you forget that I am with you -- now and always.  Rehearsing your troubles results in experiencing them many times, whereas you are meant to go through them only when they actually occur.  Do not multiply your suffering in this way!  Instead, come to Me, and relax in My Peace (your Circle of Peace*).  I will strengthen you and prepare you for this day, transforming your fear into confident trust."
