God's Peace

St. Patrick's Day is long past. But he's still on my mind. No, it's not because I like green beer - which I don't. Nor am I particularly fond of parades or leprechauns. Actually, it's because of the way he experienced God.

Patrick knew, deep in his inner-most being, that he was completely surrounded by Christ. Perhaps you have read about this in his famous prayer. "Christ with me. Christ before me. Christ in me. Christ beneath me. Christ above me. Christ on my right. Christ on my left...."

Wow. What a comforting thought. Everywhere I turn, Christ is with me. No matter where I go during the day, no matter what the situation, Christ has it covered. Just wish I could really live this way. So many times I feel like I'm on my own and have to yell out to God for help. But he's always right there - as close as my own breath.

Do you feel surrounded?
