Peace v. Stress

Steve is traveling to Georgia, and I find myself an anxious mess. This is the part of grief I have encountered time and time again. Fear of losing another person I love. It has been nerve-wracking to let my family out of my sight! Yes, I pray for them, and I prayed for Steve, but I find myself looking for "clues", as my sister-in-law found after my brother passed. The voice memo text he sent me, the photo of him on the plane, the words I said to him this morning that I didn't expect to say...it all kind of added to my anxiety. 
Why do I do this to myself? I don't let myself have the peace I know God wants me to have. I'm too busy trying to control my own self! Ugh! 
Back to my knees I go. ;)

My dear sister Jami
Be-in Christ
Do-what you can
Have-what God has for you.
I pray the peace of God that passes understanding will keep you in the Lord's peace. I pray these verses over you. Amen!
Phil.4:7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Prov. 3:25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes. 26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
