Pray Until Peace Comes

Two years ago, both Gregg and I began feeling that tugging from God. We had experienced this feeling many times before and began sensing that God was moving us into a new ministry role outside of Nashville. The only problem was that we didn’t know where this new place would be!  But we were so sure of it that Gregg found his replacement and began to transition out of his role. Someone even offered to buy our home, and we hadn’t even put it on the market yet.

So here we were in Nashville with no home and no viable prospects for our next season. Our neighbors would ask us, “Where are you moving?” They couldn't believe that we would sell our home without a next step in place. In hindsight, I can’t either! There was so much uncertainty! Yet, in the midst of the uncertainty, there was this incredible peace.

Uncertainty can often surface our deepest insecurities and greatest fears. While experiencing uncertainty, we have a choice to make. We can choose to be ridden with anxiety or we can pray until peace comes.

This Sunday, Gregg will continue his series, He’s Still Got the Whole World in His Hands, with part two, Pray Until Peace Comes. He’ll unpack this truth further by discussing that although our circumstances may be uncertain, dark and confusing, we can still experience the peace of God, which transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Hope to see you there!
