I pray for peace, hope, grace, love, and protection of theLord

in all of your lives. You all have a hope and future ahead of you.

God Bless you all!

COME REST WITH ME, BELOVED. Though many tasks are calling to you, urging you to put them first, I know what you need most: to be still in My Presence. Take some deep breaths, and fix your gaze on Me. As you return your attention to Me, let your concerns roll off—like water off a duck’s back. This enables you to relax and enjoy My nearness. I am never far from you!

Meditate on Scripture; search for Me in the Bible. Let these words of grace and truth soak into the depths of your soul and draw you closer to Me. My Word is living and active, so it can infuse fresh life into you.

When it is time to return to your tasks, bring Me into those activities. Include Me in your plans and problem-solving. I am relevant to everything you do, say, and think. Whisper My Name, “Jesus,” in sweet remembrance of My nearness. In everything you do, put Me first, for I am the Lord of your life.

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”—PSALM 46:10

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.—HEBREWS 4:12 ESV

In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.—PROVERBS 3:6 TLB
