My prayer in all situations is “Lord, help me to follow well.” This has been especially so since we began the journey of selling our home a couple of months ago. I don’t want my trust to waver but sometimes it does.
Perhaps this is why yesterday’s reading from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young felt like a divine thump upon my spirit—and maybe I’m not alone as a new week unfolds before us all today. I pray you will be blessed.
“Take time to be still in my Presence. The more hassled you feel, the more you need this sacred space of communion with Me. Breathe slowly and deeply. Relax in My holy Presence while My Face shines upon you. This is how you receive My Peace, which I always proffer to you.
Imagine the pain I feel when My children tie themselves up in anxious thoughts, ignoring My gift of Peace. I died a criminal’s death to secure this blessing for you. Receive it gratefully; hide it in your heart. My peace is an inner treasure, growing within you as you trust in Me. Therefore, circumstances cannot touch it. Be still, enjoying Peace in My Presence.”
Psalm 46:10; Numbers 6:25-26
Is there some specific way I can pray for you today? Feel free to leave it here, FB message or email. I count it a privilege.
So very glad I read this, Cathy. I gave away my copy of "Jesus Calling" to an ex-convict who was desperately seeking God. He thought that God couldn't use someone like him because of his past/prison record. After my son and I spoke for over an hour with him, I felt led to give him my copy of the book. Thanks to you, I realize how much I miss reading this wonderful devotional each day, and I'm going to purchase another copy for myself.
Love this post, Cathy.
I've given away copies too, Cynthia. I like that it's all based on the Word and the way it's written gives the reading a different perspective. I'm often amazed how the reading relate exactly to what I'm dealing with that day.
Go grab yourself another copy! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and sharing…
Cathy, we were just talking about peace tonight at dinner with our boys and how it is such a beautiful gift from Jesus. 😉
Bless you, Hester 😉
What a lovely dinner conversation, Hester!
Thanks for sharing. 🙂 Blessings to you and your sweet bunch!
I'm sooo very late catching up with my friends, but had to stop by to tell you (1) what a fan I am of Jesus Calling, and (2) how grateful I am for your prayers. For anything, anytime He brings me to mind.
Love you, Cathy 🙂
