In times of turmoil and "seemingly" stressful things that are put within our space
at different times on our journey, it's important to remember to "stop" and take
a breath and focus on our God who put us here on earth; never promising that
our lives would be easy, but always promising that He would be with us.  During our 
trials and tough times, it is of the essence to rest in God's presence.  When you do this
you truly realize the difference between your earthly life and your spiritual existence;
and you know which is most important.  You can then  feel the separation of your
flesh and spirit and know that the flesh is only temporary and the spirit eternal.
When you see things this way, somehow the "stress" of this earthy life loses its
power over you...it seems much less of an impact on you.  For this we can be so 
grateful and feel an inner joy...the peace that God gives us, "beyond all understanding."
JOHN 20:19-21  " Jesus came and stood before them. "Peace be with you,"  He said.  
When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side.  At the sight of the Lord
His disciples rejoiced.  "Peace be with you", He said again.  "As the Father has sent Me
so I send you."   And so I say..God's peace be with you always.  God bless you.  PTL
