Have you ever sat in a large pasture or field and just breathed God’s presence into your lungs? I’m really considering making the goal to do that soon. Ha Ha! I do strongly feel God’s presence sometimes when I am in the Word or praying, but I’ve never sat and just breathed. What would happen if we just sat and breathed in the Lord’s everlasting peace everyday in the earth He created? Close your eyes. Listen for His voice. Breathe His peace. Over all, reach for Him. God says that if we seek Him we will find Him.
Deuteronomy 4:29
But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
My Thoughts:
Personally, I think we would know Jesus better. Nature, His earth, the sky, the sea, the stars, the sun, and the moon, are things that Christ made. Look around, this is how majestic and creative your God is. He is the God of the Universe, the God of the birds in the sky, and the God of all living creatures, including you. He is the King of all things, and you are His precious child. No matter how old you are, God is bigger than you, and He’s bigger than me.
My family had a wonderful evening outside with some friends. We got to feel a cool breeze, we got to roller-blade, and we got to enjoy God’s creations. Isn’t His world wonderful? I bet heaven will be full of holiness. It will be much, much better than any place on earth. IT WILL BE PERFECT.
One More Thought:
I also think we would be in better spirits during the day. We are so busy that we forget who is in control. When we rest in the Lord, we can find comfort and peace. (Psalms 23)
Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
2 He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
3 He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
4 Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
5 You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.

Hannah, That was a great read! I actually needed that tonight. Yesterday, I was angry all day long and don’t know why. I just felt mad. Today has been better but after reading your blog, I’m in that place tonight when I know I must need to spend time with God, in the quiet, and just breathe Him in. Thank you again! May God bless your Sunday, as well! Love and Hugs!! <3

Thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful to you. I feel for you, but God is so great and His peace can make any anger or restlessness within you part. I have felt angry for no reason before, but this sermon I heard gave a great message on the subject that was really helpful.
