Breathe...
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:34)
Is it just me, or do you need to be reminded of this verse today? I came in the coffee shop this afternoon with a nervous stomach ache. The chocolate chip cookie and cup of tea didn't help. I know God is asking me if I really trust Him with my life. I'd love to say confidently I believe Him. But what if...? Or what if...? I had a patient this morning who told me he is getting laid off tomorrow. He told me he isn't worried in the least and knows God will take care of him like He has in the past. I believe he was telling me the truth. They weren't just words and he wasn't trying to convince himself. Does God know I need to be desperate for Him or I won't need Him in my life? Does He know I will put Him back up there on the shelf until I need Him desperately? I know I'm supposed to want Him to test me. I don't want to fail Him.
I'm not sure if any of this makes sense to you. I am sure of one thing. I need Him more today than yesterday! I am going to just give these worries to Him. I'm going to breathe and keep believing Him for the utterly impossible. It's true... I'm desperate for Him!
Have a good afternoon!
Love,

p.s.
I WANT to be DESPERATE for God. He is the Only One who can REALLY help anyway. I (we) don't need to worry about tomorrow. He is jealous for me and wants me to totally rely on Him. I must say that I know that I know that I know that I know I'll be okay no matter what! Just needed you to know! It's my desire to want more of Him and less of me (and other people). I love you, my little sister! :)

So easy to believe Him and His word, but sometimes so hard to wait and even harder not to assist Him...
Love, Annette
I love that song! I am desperate also my friend! There is nothing good in me but Him! I truly believe that in my core being. I am so thankful for Him!
Love,

Yeah, even harder not to assist Him. I felt like this one was for me today. Thanks for the reminder and timely words. He offers all we need. We just have to look to Him.

How did you know just what I needed to hear?
It feels like satan is coordinating an attack...too many people feeling this way. I guess it means that I still have growing to do in the faith department. I'm pretty good about repeating the words but struggle with convincing my heart. Trust. Such a big thing for such a small word.
As a rather random thought, I read something last night that is still making an impression on my heart. This person was talking about why we read the Bible chronologically. He said that by doing so, we are able to see how God progressively reveals Himself in word and action...how He actively pursues us. A beautiful thought to begin the day!
Praying for you today...
love,
Karen
Wow, this is so true! I have just recently started realizing this about myself. I have been praying to God about it. I have done this over and over and over again and I just don’t really understand why, because being with God is so great, greater than another thing. Thank you for the reminder I really needed that. God bless and have a great day!

Yes... you made complete sense to me! This song is what has been on my heart lately too. Oh how lost I would be w/out Him. You don't know how much it helps to know that I am not treading these waters alone. Not only is He there calming the waters, but I am in the water with other Christians that are desperate for Him!
I have a little message card on the fridge that we received shortly after Jim's dad passed. It reads: Don't worry about tomorrow... God is already there!
Thank you for your devotional thoughts and your example of memorizing Scripture!
I'm desperate for God...
And... a hug~
