I found that I have been again not resting in God's unfailing, ever present, burden taking love...sleepless nights...tossing and turning...myriads of manmade solutions, concerns, decisions, how-tos, why's, have been keeping me awake or awakening me in the middle of the nights...
I lay them down at the foot at the cross only to gather each of them up again to wrestle again and again...not that I don't trust God to take care of them, I just feel powerless to do anything about them....and that is the point...I am powerless to do anything about each...only God has the power to work in any of these areas that are plaguing my mind and restlessness ...He alone can work in people's lives with miracles in their attitudes, life choices, etc...
Thank YOU that you remind me again and again through so many avenues that you really care, that you really can and do work out everything to your glory....that You alone are capable to handle every situation that comes into our lives...and those situations are filtered to help us grow in our trust in You...help me open my hands and heart again to your care....
Jesus calling...November 28
Rest in the deep assurance of My unfailing Love. Let your body, mind, and spirit relax in My Presence. Release into My care anything that is troubling you, so that you can focus your full attention on Me. Be awed by the vast dimensions of My Love for you: wider, longer, higher, and deeper than anything you know. Rejoice that this marvelous Love is yours forever!
The best response to this glorious gift is a life steeped in thankfulness. Every time you thank Me, you acknowledge that I am your Lord and Provider. This is the proper stance for a child of God: receiving with thanksgiving. Bring Me the sacrifice of gratitude, and watch to see how much I bless you.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
—1 Peter 5:7
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
—Ephesians 3:16–19
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men. Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy.
—Psalm 107:21–22
