God Has Led Me Here

Sometimes I wish circumstances in my life were different.  Sometimes I wish there was a quick fix to an ongoing problem.  Sometimes I think that praying about that circumstance and asking for God to be God and do something about it is what I should do.  And then I read scripture like this, "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." Isaiah 26:3 Scripture is alive, and don't let anyone tell you differently.  It speaks volumes into the soul and gives life to dark places.  This verse reminded me of what I know.  Peace from the Spirit is what I long for and what I need to seek, not a change in circumstance.  I know the calling set before me.  I do not doubt that I am right where I am supposed to be at this moment because God has led me here.  Therefore, my circumstance cannot change.  My mind is what needs to be changed.  My mind needs to remain steadfast in the calling, of which my heart already trusts.  This is the prayer to lift to Heaven, turn my trust into perfect peace.  This type of peace, peace in difficult circumstances, does surpass the question why and makes changing the circumstance unnecessary.  I know this from experience.
