Peace
Its taken me years and years to learn that God wants me to be "in need" all the time. So that I will depend on Him And its taken more years to be glad when I am!
A friend told me "When things are tough, she goes through every resource, and when she comes to the end of everything she prays to God "I will accept whatever is your will, I leave it all to you" and surprise!! God deals with it. What is more, He provides acceptance, and He provides peace. What a relief. (And she said, that stupid as it is, next time something happens, she will probably go through the same thing again..) I relate, unfortunately, because I'm quite good at that scenario myself.
We talked about the multitude of resources available to us.. knowledge,money, professional expertise, friends, family, colleagues. All too often these resources solve? our problems for us. Take them away till next
time. If we operate like this, it is a rare situation when we will run out of natural solutions, and then and only then we think - Oh yes, last resort - I can turn to God. And its only then that we understand "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus".
