I am in awe of the blessing to sit at my Father’s feet and share my heart with Him.
So I begin to list off all the things that trouble me. All the disappointments of special concerns that seem to be stagnant and unmoving. How I long for these heart burdens to be changed to answers. The ache is deep. The weight is hard to bear.
My eyes glance down and see these words in my open Bible, I gasp and smile:
Be joyful always
Pray continually
Give thanks in all circumstances
- for this is God’s will for us in Christ Jesus
Don’t hinder the Holy Spirit’s work in you life
Listen to prophesies with respect
Test everything with God’s Word
Avoid every kind of evil
I Thess 5: 16-22
Father, may Your joy be evident in my daily going and coming as I give You my cares.
I give You my sadness, my fears, my disappointments, my longings. Carry them for me. You see all. You control all. Your perspective is perfect. May I rest in Your love and trust in Your heart!
The burden is lifted! He carefully carries it now!
Your Joy is filling my heart – You hold me close!
Jesus Calling today took my breath away in light of the paragraphs above!
Do we see grey, foggy days,
plodding along the rocky path
bowed low with worries, cares and sadness,
grumbling and complaining in our circumstances,
allowing fears and self centered thoughts to rob us of energy, of life itself?
or
Do we live in the blue skies of God’s abundant Presence,
casting our cares, worries and fears into His capable hands,
trusting in His loving heart for our every moment,
delighting in His surprises as we move through our day,
giving thanks for His goodness,
revitalized with His peace and love?
