Perfect Peace by Laura Story



Dear Family and Friends!!

I have to share with you today an “answered prayer!!!” A month ago, I found a suspicious lump, went to the Doctor, and had it checked out! I never get too worked up anymore because I have found many in the past. She sent me to have a mammogram and then off to have an ultra-sound. This Wednesday I had a biopsy and yesterday I got the news that it was benign!!!! Praise His Name!! NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR MY GOD!! I have put my trust in Him and He had given me Perfect Peace about it. No matter what came about, I was going to Trust in Him!! God doesn’t always answer our prayers the way we want Him to, and sometimes he allows us to go through difficult trials to test our faith! We must learn to Praise Him in the Storms and in the Sunshine! Job was a fine example of this Job 1:21 says, and he said: “ Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.”


Again, I say, “ NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR OUR GOD!!!”

Jeremiah 32:17 ‘Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.

Hebrews 13:5 says “For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
When the storms of this life come against you and you feel that no one cares. . . God does!! He loves us with an “unfailing love.”

I Peter 5:7 “Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”

God is our Great Physician, the Healer of our hearts and soul!
He is our Rock and our Fortress
He is Creator of ALL things!
He is the Beginning and the End
He is our Hiding place from the storms of this life
He is our Redeemer, who shed His blood for you and me!
He is Calmer of the raging seas around us!
He is our Peace when our hearts are troubled!
He is our Best friend, our Comforter

GOD IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS!!
GOD CAN DO WHAT HE SAYS HE CAN DO!!
I AM WHO GOD SAYS I AM. . . A CHILD OF THE KING!
I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH EVERYDAY!!
GOD’S WORD IS ALIVE AND ACTIVE IN US!

I want to leave you with this beautiful song by Laura Story. It’s called Perfect Peace. Read the lyrics and even listen to it at Youtube or you can go to my blog and watch it. (pookieanddoodles.blogspot.com) Let the Peace that only God can give you, flood your heart and soul!

stay close by My side
keep your eyes on Me
though this life is hard
I will give you perfect peace
In this time of trial
pain that no one sees
trust Me when I say
I will give you perfect peace

and you’ll never walk alone
and you’ll never be in need
though I may not calm the storms around you
you can hide in Me

burdens that you bear
offer no relief
let Me bear your load
cause I will give you perfect
stay close by my side

and you’ll never walk alone
keep your eyes on Me
and you will never be in need
though this life is hard
know that I will always give you perfect peace
I will give you perfect peace

“Encouraged in Heart. . . United in Love”
Jenny
II Timothy 1:12
