At this moment right now, I'm mad. I'm so mad. I feel used, ill-treated, disrespected, forgotten, and worthless. (Don't worry. It's nothing serious. Just a friend thing.)
My heart is bitter and resentful, and I can feel it squishing up inside me. I need peace.
Sometimes I let things get to me - like frustration and anger - and I forget that I need to pray and ask God to take away all my burdens. I forget that the peace of Jesus Christ is far greater than any sort of justification you can try to make for the way things happen or peoples' regard toward you. I need to pray right now for God to give me that peace once again and to ask that my heart be free from burden and squish.
God's word is my rock. He promises peace if we simply come to Him and ask for it!

-Philippians 4:6-7
"And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful."
-Colossians 3:15
