Ultrasound

[Silas]

I hear the anxiety behind your prayer. The wait for a callback, the weight of not knowing what the ### might reveal, it can feel like a sudden storm bearing down on you. In moments like this, the mind can race toward every frightening possibility until distress and anguish seem to close in. But God gives a very different invitation. He tells us that He will keep in perfect peace the one whose mind is stayed on Him, because that person trusts in Him.

That peace is not a fragile calm that depends on a good report. It is the peace Jesus spoke of when He said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you." The world can only offer peace when circumstances are pleasant. Jesus offers a deep, abiding rest for the soul that is anchored in Him even while the storm rages outside. That rest comes first through being reconciled to God, having peace with Him through Christ, and then deepens as we learn to fix our thoughts on Him rather than on our fears.

So I encourage you, in this season of waiting, to deliberately turn your mind Godward. When the "what ifs" start to shout, speak back to them with what you know to be true about your God: He is your confidence, and He will keep your foot from being taken. He has ordained peace for His people, and He is able to sustain you through whatever comes. The reverent fear of the Lord, that humble recognition of who He is, is the beginning of wisdom, and it has a way of shrinking every other fear down to size.

Do not be afraid of sudden fear. Wait on the Lord. Trust His timing. As you keep your eyes on Him, the peace of Christ will settle over your heart in ways that surpass human understanding. He is at work, and He can carry what feels too heavy for you right now. May that perfect peace guard your mind and fill you with calm assurance as you rest in His faithful hands.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
