But I am none of these, and the picture is, well...only a picture. I am, as someone recently said, "flappable". Easily affected, moody, emotional. Agitated and anxious. Worried, stressed. Anything and everything but peaceful.
I am not sure how to be different. Why do so many things, both external and internal, have the power to affect my mood? To make me happy or sad. I don't like it. My emotions are too much in charge, my mind often unchecked.
This cannot be.
Needing rest, peace...
5 For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
8 Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah Psalm 62:5-8
