My child, give Me your thoughts. Give Me your desires. Lay everything down at the food of My Cross and rest there. There is so much distraction and confusion in the world. If you come and sit at the foot of the Cross, I will fill you with My peace, My joy, My strength and My Spirit. Come and receive all from Me today.
My child, listen to what others are saying. I will give you ears to hear so you can be a blessing. Listen intently and ask Me for opportunities to bless others. Your joy will be full when you serve Me in this way.
My child, don’t rely on anything or anyone but Me. Place all your confidence and strength in Me alone. Take your eyes off of the world and seek Me above all else. I am your strength. I am your joy. I am your all and all.
This is a re-phrased prayer taken from Sally Brook’s recent trip to Turkey, Italy & Greece following Paul’s travels to the seven churches:
“My love is what people need most. Let My love burn in your heart and flow to the hearts of all those you meet today. Turn from envy, malice, hatred and fear. Let not indifference, apathy, contempt or pride be in you. Instead, let My love well up as a brightly burning fire so you can warm the cold, lonely and lifeless souls with the comfort of My love. Do this in the power of My Holy Spirit and to the glory of My Name.”
My child, what stands between you and joy is your choice to live in communion with Me or not. Joy flows freely when you abide in Me. What people lack most in life is joy. When they see you they see a reflection of Me. Let My love and joy flow through you today. Make the choice.
My child, you can rest in My loving arms. You can be still and know that I am God. You can know that I hold the future and I alone can be trusted when all seems lost. Your hope is to be in Me alone. Never rely on your circumstances to make you happy, peaceful or joyful. You can only experience those traits in Me. Spend time with Me. Linger in My Presence. Come and rest a while. I will soothe your soul and bring peace to your heart. Nothing else compares or even comes close.
Psalm 46:10
My child, in Me there is strong confidence. In Me is a fountain of life. In Me is wisdom, understanding, peace and joy. Those who seek Me will find Me when they seek Me with their whole heart. For I am God and I love you. I am God and I wish that none should perish. I do not give you a spirit of fear, but I give you a spirit of power and of love and a sound and disciplined mind. I provide discipline, self-control, gentleness, faithfulness, goodness, kindness, patience, peace, joy and love. If you live by My Spirit you will walk by My Spirit. You will be an overcomer. You will have victory if you allow Me to live through you.
Proverbs 14:26&27, Jeremiah 29:13, 2 Peter 3:9, 2 Timothy 1:7, Galatians 5:22&23
Consider it pure joy when you go through trials. Know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. Remain in My joy. The alternative only results in worry and fear.
James 1:2-4
My child, I long to be gracious to you. I wait on high to have compassion on you. For I am a God of justice. Blessed are all those who long for Me. You will have gladness in your heart and joy in your soul. My peace will overflow in all areas of your life. You will hear ‘This is the way, walk in it’. Learn to enjoy My presence. Learn to live in the moment. Let My Spirit overflow. Let Me radiate through you. I Am and there is no other god besides Me.
Isaiah 30:18 – Isaiah 43:11 – Isaiah 45:5
My child, open your mouth and I will fill it. Let your mind and thoughts remain on Me. Give Me your day and I will lead you every step of the way. Let peace, joy and thankfulness reside in your heart and remove doubts, fear and anxiety. My joy and peace are to reign supreme in your heart, mind and thoughts. Let Me be in control of your day. Rest and be at peace. Spend time with Me and enjoy My presence. I will take care of the rest.
Psalm 81:10
My child, find things to be thankful for today. Make this your pursuit. Be devoted to prayer with an attitude of thanksgiving. You are called to love, unity and thankfulness. Walk in these three and you will experience My peace, joy and contentment.
Colossians 4:2 & 3:14&15
