What Happens Next
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
Psalm 37:23 reminds us that “God delights in every detail of our lives.” Yes, He delights. Just consider it, the Almighty King He’s bending down to hear all that you and I want to talk to Him about. This means God finds great pleasure when we speak to Him. But we too have something to gain from this conversation. Here’s what happens after you talk to God about it. Philippians 4:7 says “Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
It’s just that simple. When we talk to God, in exchange He gives us His peace. When God guards your mind, He directs your thoughts and decisions. When He guards your heart, He changes your desires (appetite). When God fills you with peace, you are then able to calm down, and wait with hope and confidence instead of a place of anxiety.
Nothing that concerns you is unimportant to God. Remember, He even keeps count of how many hairs you have! God invites us to fellowship with Him. That would include just discussing things. Just visiting. Just “hanging out” together. This is what God desires. So don’t disappoint Him!
God is not too busy to hear about every detail of your life. I have no idea how God can listen to all of us, but He can. God is not bound by time like we are. However He does it, we don’t have to be concerned but can just trust Him.
Now again, what do you want to bring to him?
Seek God for the change and be willing to try again!
