Hey Campers!
It’s Tamagotchi here! How are you guys doing? I hope school is great and you’re already pumped for coming back to camp next summer. I want to share a little devotion with you about what I’ve been learning since camp ended. Just like this summer, I have my own “truth of the day” about Jesus.

| Jesus is Peace. Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” |  |
I am realizing that Jesus is Peace. When I read the verse in Philippians, it reminds me of how God has not forgotten me.
Since camp has ended, my day to day routine looks a lot different than it used to. I am usually at home looking for a job and waiting to hear back if I have one. For the past few weeks it has caused me to get frustrated. Sometimes I feel like I am not good enough or that nobody wants me because I haven’t been hired yet. For a couple of weeks I would be mad at myself because I didn’t understand what God’s plan was for me.
Maybe you have felt this way too. Perhaps school work is super hard and you don’t understand why you can’t get it yet. No matter what it is, we’ve all hit a point where we’re frustrated and unable to focus clearly because things aren’t going the way we expected. However, I am realizing that Jesus is Peace.
When I read the verse in Philippians, it reminds me of how God has not forgotten me. God has given me time to rest and work on my relationship with Him. I don’t have to worry about if I will get a job or not, I have to trust that God will provide. As I have been praying and asking Him what He wants me to do, I’ve seen His peace in my life. I am not worried that I’m not good enough or able to get a job but that God is preparing me for a great job.
When I let God know what’s in my heart, what my desires are, and I trust Him, then His peace is able to work in my life. I hope this helps you guys keep persevering through school and anything that may be a struggle for you right now.
Miss you guys tons!
