For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. —2 CORINTHIANS 4:17
My eyes search to and fro throughout the earth, looking for one whose heart is seeking Me. I see you trying to find Me;
I am pleased with your desire to create a quiet space where you and I can meet. Don’t be discouraged by the difficulty of achieving this goal. I monitor all your efforts and am blessed by each of your attempts to seek My Face.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
PSALM 23:2–3
LET ME FILL YOU with My Love, Joy, and Peace. These are Glory-gifts, flowing from My living Presence.
I designed you to be filled with heavenly contents.
Don’t waste energy wondering whether you are adequate for today’s journey. My Spirit within you is more than sufficient to handle whatever this day may bring.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves. —2 CORINTHIANS 4:7
When you focus on what you don’t have or on situations that displease you, your mind also becomes darkened.
You take for granted life, salvation, sunshine, flowers, and countless other gifts from Me. You look for what is wrong and refuse to enjoy life until that is “fixed.”
When you approach Me with thanksgiving, the Light of My Presence pours into you, transformi...

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. —1 JOHN 1:7
On some days your will and Mine flow smoothly together. You tend to feel in control of your life when our wills are in harmony. On other days you feel as if you are swimming upstream, against the current of My purposes. When that happens, stop and seek My Face. The opposition you feel may be from Me, or it may be from the evil one.
Talk with Me about what you are experiencing. Let My Spirit guide you through treacherous waters. As you move through the turbulent stream with Me, let circumstances mold you into the one I desire you to be. Say yes to your Potter as you go through this day.
My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek. —PSALM 27:8
Having sacrificed My very Life for you, I can be trusted in every facet of your life.
“But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.” —JEREMIAH 17:7
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. —1 PETER 2:9 NKJV
Choose to trust Me in all circumstances.
But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.” —PSALM 31:14
DO NOT BE AFRAID, for I am with you. Hear Me saying, “Peace, be still,” to your restless heart. No matter what happens, I will never leave you or forsake you. Let this assurance soak into your mind and heart until you overflow with Joy.
Let Scripture saturate your mind and heart, and you will walk steadily along the path of Life. Even though you don’t know what will happen tomorrow, you can be absolutely sure of your ultimate destination.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea. —PSALM 46:2
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your
counsel, and
LET ME CONTROL YOUR MIND. The mind is the most restless, unruly part of mankind. Long after you have learned the discipline of holding your tongue, your thoughts defy your will and set themselves up against Me.
Though My blood has fully redeemed you, your mind is the last bastion of rebellion. Open yourself to My radiant Presence, letting My Light permeate your thinking.
When My Spirit is controlling your mind, you are filled with Life and Peace.
The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.
ROMANS 8:6
COME TO ME with empty hands and an open heart, ready to receive abundant blessings. I know the depth and breadth of your neediness. Your life-path has been difficult, draining you of strength. Come to Me for nurture. Let Me fill you up with My Presence: I in you, and you in Me.
My Power flows most freely into weak ones aware of their need for Me. Faltering steps of dependence are not lack of faith; they are links to My Presence.
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” —JOHN 17:20–23 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. —PROVERBS 29:25
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
MEET ME IN MORNING STILLNESS, while the earth is fresh with the dew of My Presence. Worship Me in the beauty of holiness.
The world’s way of pursuing riches is grasping and hoarding. You attain My riches by letting go and giving. The more you give yourself to Me and My ways, the more I fill you with inexpressible, heavenly Joy.
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; worship
Though
DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF. I can bring good even out of your mistakes.
Instead of floundering in the past, release your mistakes to Me.
Because you are human, you will continue to make mistakes. Thinking that you should live an error-free life is symptomatic of pride.
Best of all, failure highlights your dependence on Me.
