What is the lesson in this for me?

Dear Heavenly Father,

I thank you that during this time of distress, I can be safe at home with my family, knowing that they are safe, knowing that we have enough food to eat in our cupboards. But even in the comfort of knowing this, my heart hurts, it doesn't feel good that I am safe while I know that others are suffering, there is a sense of guilt that comes along with that. Maybe your telling me that I need to do more… maybe its the enemy using the opportunity to sneak in his lies, as he often does. With the quarantine comes much more responsibility, teaching is something I gave the thought to but often told myself I couldn't do it, now to find myself forced to the very thing I couldn't do! Its funny how you do that to me. Although it takes me time to admit it, but I see that you are growing me.

Lord, help me to trust you more. Help me to be patient. And please help me to see that even though I cannot always see the lesson in what is happening that I need to focus on Christ so that I can feel the peace that transcends all understanding.

In your heavenly name

Amen

Then you will experience God's peace which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:7 NLT
