CH Spurgeon does it again. MMM.

You have no place in which to pour your troubles except the ear of God. If you tell them to your friends, you but put your troubles out a moment, and they will return again. Roll your burden unto God, and you have rolled it into a great deep, out of which it will never by any possibility rise. Cast your troubles where you cast your sins; you have cast your sins into the depths of the sea, there cast your troubles also. Never keep a trouble half an hour on your own mind before you tell it to God. As soon as the trouble comes, quick, the first thing, tell it to your Father.

PEACE

I think God is trying to nudge my stubborn heart and mind with peace; a peace that surpasses all understanding. 

A peace that comes from God, by the means of Jesus making peace through his blood. 

"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation." 2 Thess 3:16

I can't control time or people. I can't be everywhere at once and expect to be rested as well. I'm stubborn and need the peace of Christ to dwell in my heart at all times. I need to cast my cares on him the first chance I get. What a waste it is to let myself become overwhelmed when I am given access to a trusting, faithful, loving, and kind provider. Why should I worry? 

My jaded mind can't understand how God hears all my prayers, knows my hopes and fears, knows exactly what I need,  knows exactly where I fall, etc. It's too much for me to understand. And that's exactly why I need a peace that surpasses all understanding. 

A peace greater than intellectual wisdom....

A peace based in the confidence of the sovereign rule of the God of the universe, who is also the God of my heart.

My King and my best friend. 

That's my main desire right now. 

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.
Psalm 4:8
