The Choice That Leads To Peace

Continued from "Three steps to victory":
So much depends on our perspective. If my God isn't bigger than life, then my life is bigger than God-and that's when anxiety takes over. When we decide to pray instead of worry-when we choose to have a grateful heart in not-so-great circumstances-than the peace of God comes and takes us into "protective custody". It stands guard at the door of our heart, transcending, surpassing, and confounding our own human understanding, bringing us peace. Relieved of duty, we can take off our worry beads and pick up our shield of faith. And then we can stand back and watch God move. Will we pray? Or will we worry? We really can't do both.
