Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, 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 your minds in Christ Jesus.

This is such a hard lesson but also one my life is dependent on. I, like most women, have problems with anxiety. I worry mostly about my kids and my fears are never rational! I have really had to work to give up control and let God take over, in all reality what can I do that he can't do better! This verse also meanings so much because it reminds me that I will not be given everything I want, but that I can always have the peace of God in my life and with that peace I can go through anything!!! I have spent the last 6 months fighting for things I really want, to no avail. I have fought through so much and even though I don't have what my heart wants, I have a new found peace in the Lord, a new outlook on life, and a bond with my Savior I didn't have before. It's amazing what you can be given when you don't even think you need it!
