It may be you lack peace of mind.
Perhaps it’s due to an illness giving grief to your body that disturbs your whole being.
Or an upset in relationships, a concern about something you have to account for, or a thing ahead you’re just getting your head around.
Lack of peace is a tell tale sign we need to interpret because God desires we live in his peace even if that goes beyond our understanding.
I find when my peace is disturbed over a number of days it challenges me as to how surrendered my life is to God.
Very often lack of peace links to anger about the way things are, inability to change those things and most significant of all, lack of submission to God.
I don’t know about you but I begin each day submitting it overall to God so it's given to be God’s day lived through me. Like any resolve it needs sticking at. Giving your life to God is something that needs repeating. It's also something basic to Christian worship where, at the eucharist, we regularly offer ourselves to God with Christ.
Inner turmoil when it comes is an invitation to seek attention for body, mind or spirit. Sometimes that attention is as simple as an act of faith in God as God of your life through rough and smooth.
Take, Lord, and receive all that I am: my liberty, my memory, my understanding, my entire life. Dispose of me according to your will. All I need is your love and your grace. That is enough for me. Amen.
