I woke up to a tiny buzzing in my ear. If you have kids in the house you have probably done the same thing at least once this summer. I rolled over and as soon as I was about to fall asleep the buzzing began again. Really?! I rolled over again and pulled the covers over my head. Finally peace….ah nope, that lasts for 5 seconds. The buzz came back. It was more like a high pitch squeaking. By this time I knew I had to get up. The sun was out, the kids were already awake and causing chaos…it was time. But more than anything, I wanted to have peace from that squeaking buzz sound that hounded my thoughts and ears. The bane of my existence at 6:30 am was a mositoe. He probably came in while the kids left the door open to the backyard the day before. Thank you boys (the sarcasm is dripping off my page!).

It’s crazy how something so small could cause total disruption. The mosquito wings buzzing in my ear took away the peace. It makes me think about how my fears of the unknown take away my peace mentally, spiritually, and physically. That worry is like the small buzz constantly nagging at my inner thoughts and not letting myself have peace. Then I read Hebrews 13:5-6:

“Don’t be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, “I’ll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,” we can boldly quote, God is there, ready to help; I’m fearless no matter what. Who or what can get to me?”

Hebrews 13:5-6 MSG

The part that gives me hope is when God says He will never let me down, never walk off, never leave me, and He is ready to help me. That is huge!

Whatever it is that is buzzing around causing disruption in your thoughts today, know that God is there with you. It’s a matter of letting Him help you. We have to chose to let Him, just like I had to choose to leave the mosquito because my way of fixing my problem wasn’t working. It never does! I’m working on living out Hebrews 13:5-6 today.
