Revelation of the Spirit- #54 A heart at peace

"A heart at peace give life to the body, but envy rots the bones."

Proverbs 14:30

I read this verse in my devotions on Wednesday night and I found it stuck with me. My life has sort of been quite hectic lately. All I have time do anymore is school work. And if and when I ever have time off  I don't do the things i'm supposed to. I'm tired. When I read this verse it struck something in my spirt: I desire a heart at peace. I want peace of some sort. I also found that a large part of me not having peace was envy. Always wanting what someone else has. Their shirt...their phone...whatever it was, I wanted it. My spiritual bones are rotting. 

My prayer tonight is that I would have peace. The Lord has blessed me, abundantly. He has blessed me more than I could've ever imagined or deserved. I pray I would not envy others and just be thankful for what the Lord has given me. He has blessed me with certain things for a reason. He gave them to me knowing I could do something with those blessings that no one else could. 

Secondly I pray that my heart would be at peace. That I wouldn't worry about college, school work, family, corps activities or just life in  general. The Lord loves me and will carry me through these things. I want to just be at peace and know that the Lord is my King and He loves. I want the peace of his love to flood my soul tonight.

I pray this for everyone who reads. I pray you would have a heart at peace with the Lord. Bless you.
