Jacob was "greatly afraid and distressed." He made worried plans. But then he prayed. He thanked God, reminded himself of God's promises and asked for help. And when Esau came, he ran to Jacob and hugged him! Worry is a big feeling we can take to God. When we pray with thanks, God gives His peace to guard our hearts.Old TestamentPeace
