Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Viktor Frankl

Everyday we encounter situations that involve a choice how we interpret those circumstances. As we grow in spiritual maturity, we learn that it’s not what happens to us, but how we interpret the situation that is the determining factor. Your destiny does not need to be left to chance, it can be determined by the choices you make. You have the ability to choose to trust God in any situation, even when you don’t understand. Prayer is the key that enables you to experience His peace,

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
