They're facing a day which will shape the course of their lives. They desperately want a specific outcome; however, no one will say it will occur. So. We prayed, acknowledging God is GOD, asking for help to surrender their focus on the issue, trusting the plan for their life is beyond what they've ever thought or imagined, receiving divine peace.
When we face something challenging, when no one will guarantee a positive outcome, when we have more questions than answers, when things appear to be getting worse, we need to stop and become aware of the presence and peace of God.
"Be strong. Take courage. Don't be intimidated. Don't give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He's right there with you. He won't let you down; he won't leave you" (Deut. 31:6, The Message).
Sometimes we do that thing, we have the ah ha moment, when we read a truth about God and realize we're not living in its reality. It happens. There are seasons in life when we become more focused on our stuff than on God. Our conversations during these times often begin with the question, "Why?" And, we often wonder why other people, especially those who have chosen to live without God, are able to have what we want in our own life. But. Instead of focusing on what others have and what we're afraid won't happen, we need to stop everything and meditate on the presence of God, remembering God is with us, goes ahead of us, will not let us down, and will never leave us. Becoming aware of this truth must become a daily exercise in order to live in the kind of peace that is unexplainable.
Stop. Put aside a moment to become aware of the presence of God.
Remember God is with you, goes ahead of you, will not fail you, and will not leave you.
Relax. Receive the peace of God, trusting all things will come together because God is with you, going ahead of you, promising to never leave or fail you.
Learning to Kickstart the day taking a moment to be aware of the presence of God.

As we become more aware of the presence of God, we're enabled to relax and to receive divine peace.At the end of the day, what matters is knowing the presence of God. When we know God is present, all things in our life come together because we understand God is in control and at work.
