Phillipians 4:6-7

I haven't felt close to God in quite sometime. I haven't been making the effort that I should in the last few months, and that had started to take a toll on me. I know that this is probably bad, but there is something I want in my life, and in this time of my wanting, I draw near to God. He is there for me, happy to see me return, and not that I am going to leave the second I get what I want, but it seems in the past, I have done this same thing. This new pursuit is something I want God to be a major part of. I am feeling a lot of peace in the situation, but yet still some anxiousness. I want it now, but I know that when God is ready to give it to me He will. Or maybe it's not meant to be at all, maybe God will say no.

But on Sunday night, I was feeling a little confused and just generally feeling "off". So I sat down and started writing how I was feeling, and praying. And in the middle of what I was thinking and praying, God spoke to me. Just all of a sudden, in the middle of me writing something, God gave me a bible verse. I didn't ask for it, but there it was. It was Phillipians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." It was just what I needed to hear. And honestly since then I have been seeking God in this situation. I know that was only a couple of days ago, but I feel that my whole feeling on it has changed. Before I was all giddy and distracted, and now I feel almost more mature about it. I feel that it is in God's hands, His control and that no matter what happens, God's will is what I want.
