Stressed & Anxious

Those two words pretty much sum up the way that I feel right now and have been feeling the past few weeks.  That's right blogging world, I find myself in need of a j-o-b. Again. For the second time in two years. 

I'm trying to rest in the Word of the Lord:

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty - Psalm 91:1

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. - Ephesians 3:14-21

This week in the study that that I'm doing, it's talking about calling on the power of Jesus' name.  I've been calling on the power of Jesus' name, The Name of the One who saved me, to give me peace and comfort and encouragement and security as only He can. I know that He will take care of me and that He wants good things for my life. While I may have a hard time seeing that as the worst year of my life draws to a close, I have faith and hope that He is working out His will in my life.
