As a Chaplain of Hospice, I encounter a lot of people at the end of life stage and we talk about regrets and guilt. I explore these things through the Word of God in order to find and bring peace, comfort and forgiveness. I would like to share God's word daily with you so we can reflect now as we live, so we can live life to the fullest. - Pastor Anthony

Phillipians 4: 6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
When we loose a loved one we sometimes become anxious or worried about our friend's and families. Sometimes when people become sick, or even find themselves in hard times we want to worry and get excited as to what is going to happen. This verse tells us not to worry or be "anxious for nothing". Instead we are told to pray about everything, if we do this we will experience God's peace which exceeds or goes beyond our understanding. Talk about amazing grace, God wants you to experience peace that is far greater than you can understand. The verse goes on to tell us that God's peace will guard your hearts and mind. In trying times your mind races with worry and anxious thoughts and then your heart keeps you up all night tossing and turning. God wants to bring peace to your mind and allow your heart to be filled with comfort and calmness. Begin to pray about everything and watch your worrying decrease, you will be glad you did. Many Blessings to you
