Perfect Peace

Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

A couple of weeks ago I was in the living room with my husband discussing vaccines. I was in tears. Not knowing what to do, not wanting to let her go, not wanting the moment to come. Then God whispered to me, "This will be one of many moments, Nellie, moments of trust. I love her more than you do, remember? I saw her and knew her for nine months when you did not."
Then it hit me. God SAW her and KNEW her for nine months when I didn't. For the first time the verse came to life for me. I really understood what it meant when it says that God saw my unformed body and knew me in my mother's womb. How foolish of me to think that I had any control over her life. I prayed back, "Lord, you always had control, but I give you my pride in thinking that I had control. I give you my anxieties and fears, and I ask for your peace." And His perfect peace fell over me.
May the peace of God ease your worries and calm your fears.
