JULY - My Month of Peace

During my prayer and meditation session on Friday morning (1st of July), I felt in my spirit that this is my month of peace. I pondered on that for few minutes, saying to myself that I needed more sign reaffirming the declaration that this will be my month of peace.

While still in my meditation session, I opened my Living word book (It is a book for meditation) for the first time since I got it and the first page was a morning prayer and a Bible verse I love so much was tucked at the end of the page. This verse calms me whenever I am anxious, afraid or feel a sense of hopelessness. The verse is Acts 17 vs 28 - 'In God I move and breathe and have my being'.

This verse has a way of making me be at peace and makes me surrender all to God. That was a great sign and I felt really good that Friday morning, ready for the day.

That same Friday, something happened in my personal life that attempted to ruin the euphoria of peace and joy that I was basking in. This dragged on till the next day and I kept saying but July is supposed to be my month of peace, why is this happening?

On Sunday during my prayer and meditation session, out of the blues I asked myself this question
How do I even expect to go through life without any form of challenge? Things happen, it is called life. So instead of whining about things not going my way, why don't I just ask for grace to overcome whatever challenges that comes my way. That I did on Sunday and I felt at peace within. All is well now, I overcame.

Challenges are not intended to disrupt our peace, but to strengthen us, to develop our character, to cause us to persevere, teach us the benefits of discipline and sacrifices and to make us a better person. - Joyce Meyer

I spent most of this weekend wondering what book to read this month. I finally got it - Like a light bulb in my head.
I got an excerpt of a book from my friend Ese last month and on reading it consciously on Saturday, the realisation dawned on me that this is my book for the month of July. The excerpts got me really excited. It is about self discovery and awareness.

The title of this book is - The Breakthrough Experience: A revolutionary new approach to personal transformation.

I hope it lives up to expectation and as usual, I will be sharing excerpts of this book on my Facebook wall.
I wish you all a peaceful month of July
