My heart has been beating faster for a few days it usually beats at about 60 beats per minute. The increase in beats happens now and then. Last night, I began to take on some fear about my heart speeding up because nothing we were doing the last few days was helping it to slow down. Annie knew fear was trying to get on me and said, “Mark, you’ve not been given the spirit of fear.” Right when she said it, I knew she was right, and immediately, Jesus replaced the fear thoughts with His peace and reminded me of Romans 8:28 as well. Jesus, His promises and Word, is so amazing and loving.
Peace I (Jesus) leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27
Thanking and praising God in all things (Ephesians 5:20),
Mark
