Yesterday’s message because God you knew that I would need it today, All of my help comes from you even now
Y’all…
Jesus,
Help me to live close to You, remembering that You are my resting place.
Since You, my Prince of Peace are both with me and within me, I can dwell in this peaceful haven with You.
I long to be able to stay calm in the midst of stressful situations, centering myself in You.
We can deal with my problems together, You and I, so there’s no need for me to panic when things seem out of control.
But I confess that the more difficult my circumstances, the more likely I am to anxiously shift into high gear, forgetting Your steadfast Presence that strengthens me.
As soon as I realize I’ve wandered from Your Presence, I need to return to You immediately.
Whispering Your Name reconnects me with You and calms me down.
Sometimes I get discouraged because I seem to wander away from You so frequently.
However, I’m striving to form a new habit, and I know this takes time and persistent effort.
Thank You for showing me that the rewards of this strenuous training are well worth all the effort.
I’m finding that the more I return to You, my resting place the more peaceful and joyful my life becomes.
In the Name of Jesus,
Amen
