Jesus,

Help me to think Your thoughts more and more.

When the worries of this world are pressing down on me, I need to take time to think things out in Your Presence.

As I relax with You, Your everlasting arms enfold me in Peace.

It’s such a blessing to take a break from obsessing about my concerns—and just enjoy this time of looking to You.

I like to intersperse quietness with reading Scripture and speaking or singing praises to You.

Thank You for guiding me to use Bible verses in my prayers and petitions.

When my prayers are permeated with Scripture, I’m able to pray with more confidence.

I long to be transformed by the renewal of my mind.

The world exerts massive amounts of pressure on me through ever-present electronic communications.

Instead of letting the world press me into its mold, I ask You to transform the way I think.

As You gradually renew my mind, I yearn for my thoughts and attitudes to reflect You in ever-increasing measure.

In Your Name, Jesus,

Amen

EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER ADVERSITY in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world.

Stop trying to find a way that circumvents difficulties.

The main problem with an easy life is that it masks your need for Me.

When you became a Christian, I infused My very Life into you, empowering you to live on a supernatural plane by depending on Me.

Anticipate coming face to face with impossibilities: situations totally beyond your ability to handle.

This awareness of your inadequacy is not something you should try to evade.

It is precisely where I want you—the best place to encounter Me in My Glory and Power.

When you see armies of problems marching toward you, cry out to Me!

Allow Me to fight for you.

Watch Me work on your behalf, as you rest in the shadow of My Almighty Presence.

Amen

I'm Not New To This...
1994, yes 31 years ago I worked as an independent contractor providing Behavioral Analysis in public schools. .
You see me, looking like a Grade A Certified NERD 🤓 But Lord knows, I wouldn't trade these experiences for anything. I just blame my friends for not telling me I looked like this. 😂😂😂..
Don't get it twisted, I'm multi-talented and blessed to have seen alot of things, been alot of places, and had the pleasure of serving various populations of people. ..
Thankful to God for ALL the experience I've had, 40+ years working and SERVING! Its in my DNA! And.... thank God I dont dress like this anymore lol. 😂🤓.
Its a blessing to be a blessing! 🙏🏽❤️.

Jesus,

Help me to keep my focus on You.

You created me with the amazing ability to choose the focal point of my thoughts.

This is a sign of being made in Your image.

Yet I’ve seen that if my mind gets stuck on worries, they can develop into idols.

Anxiety gains a life of its own, infesting my mind like a parasite.

Thankfully, I can break free from this bo***ge by affirming my trust in You and refreshing myself in Your Presence.

What goes on in my mind is invisible to other people, but You read my thoughts continually, You know everything about me.

I want to guard my thinking carefully since good thought-choices honor You and keep me close to You.

My goal is to take captive every thought to make it obedient to You.

When my mind wanders from You, I need to capture those thoughts and bring them into Your Presence.

In Your radiant Light, anxious thoughts shrink and shrivel up.

Judgmental thinking is unmasked as I bask in Your merciful Love.

Confused ideas are untangled while I rest in the simplicity of Your Peace.

Your Word assures me that You will keep in perfect Peace all who trust in You, whose thoughts are fixed on You!

In Your Name, Jesus,

Amen

Regardless of how many people we meet or how many wonderful things we do in our lifetime, the greatest privilege of all is to know God.

Nothing else can bring the joy and contentment we yearn for.

And yet we frequently chase after worldly acceptance because we forget the treasure of truly knowing the living God.

Oftentimes people say a salvation prayer and remain satisfied with this first step.

If asked, “Do you know God?” most will say they do.

But there’s a vast difference between knowing facts about God and personally relating to Him.

Believers should continually be growing closer to the Father—always learning more about who He is and what He considers important.

When people go through life depending on themselves, they never really know God.

He will reveal Himself to a heart that is honest and transparent, not one that’s full of pride and arrogance.

It is in our brokenness and helplessness that we discover who the Lord is.

Do you have a genuine hunger in your heart to know God?

If so, ask Him, “Who are You? What are You like?”

Then open yourself to God, not for His sake—He already knows you perfectly—but for your own sake (John 17:3).

By spending time with your Father, you’ll discover you are privileged indeed.

Amen

I AM CALLING YOU to a life of constant communion with Me.

Basic training includes learning to live above your circumstances, even while interacting on that cluttered plane of life.

You yearn for a simplified lifestyle so that your communication with Me can be uninterrupted.

But I challenge you to relinquish the fantasy of an uncluttered world.

Accept each day just as it comes, and find Me in the midst of it all.

Talk with Me about every aspect of your day, including your feelings.

Remember that your ultimate goal is not to control or fix everything around you; it is to keep communing with Me.

A successful day is one in which you have stayed in touch with Me, even if many things remain undone at the end of the day.

Do not let your to-do list (written or mental) become an idol directing your life.

Instead, ask My Spirit to guide you moment by moment.

He will keep you close to Me.
