Peace Be With You

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.  2 Thessalonians 3:16 
Lord grant us peace in this troubled time.  So many people are out of work, so many countries on the brink of bankruptcy.  We only have to examine the signs of the times to know it is getting close.  I don’t know about you but when I get stressed and anxious I have a tendency to over react, circle the wagons and protect myself.  I get defensive. 
I have to ask the Lord daily to help me be open to other people and not close them out.  I am not always an open person. I guess we all look out for number one first.  But, will we be called upon to look out for others during the tough times?  Probably!  So today I ask that the Lord would prepare my heart to do just that.   Make me compassionate toward others.  Give me peace so I can see through the trouble and strife to behold and fulfill your purpose in my life.  Help me to look out for others who need you and need help. 
Peace be with you.  Share the peace of God.
