In Quiet Peace and Confident Trust

Psalm 4:8 - "In peace I will both lie down and sleep for You, Lord alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust."

What a powerful scripture this is. I am amazed at how you can read various verses in the Bible over and over and then suddenly one jumps out at you.

This is the case with this scripture. I was having trouble sleeping and came out to have my prayer time to pray in the middle of the night. This scripture jumped out at me.

How often do we have that peace that passes understanding in our lives? I realized that night my problem was I was worrying about the future and had lost my peace and my trust.

Immediately I repented and asked God to help me sleep in peace and know that He is my safety net and I can trust Him each step of the way.

I pray for you today that you have that confident trust, know God's wonderful peace and feel as if you are under His wing in a safe place.
