Often times we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day. In the interim, we find ourselves looking for that place of refuge, or that safe place.

We’re living in a day where most of the population is stressed out about something. In fact, I heard an alarming statistic that 90% of doctor visits are stress related. And nine times out of ten, the doctor will simply put you on medication to numb the pain. But the truth is that this prescribed medication will only tie you over for the moment.

But isn’t it amazing to know that we serve a God who is the ultimate stress reliever? He reminds us in 2 Corinthians 12:9 that His grace is sufficient for us, His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

The psalmist said “in my distress I cried out to the Lord and He heard me.” You can go to a friend, or a relative or a neighbor and cry out to them, but when it all comes down to it, none can be as comforting or as stress relieving as the Lord God almighty.

The Lord doesn’t do like the doctors do. He doesn’t simply give you a pill to take to numb or hide the pain. No, He reassures you that He is all the medicine you need. In God alone will you find peace. He is the sustainer, He is the one who will be your safe place. The scripture says God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

If you’ll just stay in an attitude of prayer and keep an open line of communication with the creator of the universe, He’ll see to it that you find rest and peace. In fact, we’re reminded that we can go to Him and He will give us rest. He comforts us in letting us know that His yoke is easy!

My friend, know today that there is no problem too big that our God can not handle. In fact, right before His death, He assured us that He’s leaving His peace with us. The scripture says that the peace that surpasses all understanding shall guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.

Take out time today and take your medicine, which is prayer and supplication with Christ Jesus. In doing so you will experience a life of rest and peace as you charge forth on your journey of life!
