Peace -- the magic that helps all

This is the morning after my surgery. And due to the peace I felt, which was surprising, I am doing very well.

 

On the night before, after my girls and I prayed God's hand on me, I slept like a baby. Then on the way to the hospital the next morning I read a note my daughter wrote including Psalms 62 5-8....so no nerves! Peace continued to pass over me when I was getting my very first in my life IV--the one thing I thought I would freak over. And as they put me to sleep, PEACE..

 

I give God all the glory for that, because He is the one that covered me.

 

Last night I did have some nerves, but i know I shouldn't. I was about to go to sleep and jerked awake...that caused axiousness that something inside or outside had Popped, but I shouldn't of worried, God still had me. But in the darkness your mind does crazy things...

 

Today I am very sore on the left side, no where near incisions, but I have learned that is where all the pulling and pushing occured so moving around will "work" that out. Getting out of chairs and beds is a bit difficult, not having any core strength and feeling I need to get up straight.

 

But health wise I feel great. I know these aches and pains are temporary, but the change in the peace of mind is permanent.

 

In Gods Love and Mine

Wonderful post, thank you for sharing. Whenever I write an email or text I always say "God's Peace". You are right: Isiah 26:3 "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you".

Best wishes and God's Peace :-)

Loved your post! I too prayed the night before and the day of, not worried or afraid, just for that Perfect Peace! I did write my husband a Love Letter and before he left the operating room I gave it to him. He has been the love of my life and the father of my children for 32 yrs, and if it was in Gods will for me to leave him, I just wanted him to know all the things I said to him in that letter! I am way too sentimental, so after we got home, I felt like a silly little school girl, but I knew that he Knew and neither one of us ever mentioned it again, it has been 10 months since that day and I was cleaning and found he had kept the letter in a drawer. Sweet!
