As I was reading the daily devotion this morning to the family, I thought it would make for a perfect post today.... paraphrased from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young:
You can live as close to God as you choose. He sets up no barriers between Him and you; neither does He tear down any barriers that you erect.
People tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives. So they pour their energy into trying to control those situations. They feel happy when things are going well, and sad or frustrated when things don't turn out as they'd hoped. They rarely question this correlation between their circumstances and feelings. Yet it is possible to be content in any and every situation.
Put more energy into trusting God and enjoying His Presence. Don't let your well-being depend on your circumstances. Instead, connect your joy to God's precious promises:
God is with you and will watch over you wherever you go. He will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches. Nothing in all creation will be able to separate you from God's Love.
