Take time for prayer.
Take more time to be alone with Me.
So only will you prosper.
Be not afraid.
All is well.
Just feel My touch,
sense My presence and the fever of work,
care, and fear just melts into nothingness and 
health, joy, peace takes its place.

Pray for the seeing eye,
to see the beauty of My character,
of My Spirit.
Pray to have faith to see the beauty of My love in My dealings with You,
in My actions.
Until, what the world will distort into cruelty and harshness,
you, with the eyes of faith will see all that you could desire.
Know Me.
Talk to Me.
Let Me talk to you so that I may make clear to your loving hearts what seems mysterious now and purposeless. -God Calling

I thank You Lord for the ways You have answered prayer.
You are teaching us how to see others,
not as higher or lower then us,
but as fellow sojourners in our love walk to You.

I am learning that what matters is our love walk with You.
Other's opinions fluctuate like the wind.

It was exactly when my fear and disappointment was greatest 
that God came close to me in comfort and truth.
List of praise and thanksgiving is not a matter of how we feel emotionally,
it is a matter of will.

Do you feel in control?

A relative of mine asked me if I felt in control.
The question made me laugh.
We have control of so little!

If you yearn for happiness, rest, satisfaction
that you have never felt in the world and it's pursuits,
Come to Me and I will give you rest.
If someone has shut you out or forgotten you, 
you think now they must wait!
No.
Remember the Heavenly beggar,
and learn of Me,
humility.
Even if a person shuts Me out 

I stand at the door and knock .-God calling

Lord, sometimes we shut You out.
Thank You so much for caring,
thank You for letting us now Your presence again.

Learn that each man's happiness, peace and rest are valuable to Me,
and learn, praying, to copy the Divine Unrest until a soul finds rest and peace in Me.

Behold I stand at the door and knock.  Rev. 3:20

Nothing I have is my own.

Depend on Me.
Divine supply is a difficult lesson for My children to learn.
So dependent have you become on material supply that you fail to understand.
You must live as I tell you.
Depend on Me.
Come to Me.
Talk to Me.
Dwell with Me.
Come very near to Me.
Come sit with Me.
Take each days happenings as work you can do for Me.
In that spirit a blessing will attend all you do. -God Calling

It isn't a question of giving only if I am so rich that it won't hurt,
It is a question of realizing nothing I have is my own.

You don't want us to be afraid of anything.
You want us to tackle our fear head on with You clearing the path!

MARRIAGE

When you feel your worst,
your spouse pulls alongside you and offers help.

God help us walk inside our spouse's shoes and sympathize with his/her pain.
Let it be said by our spouse that we pull alongside them and offer them help!

Dear Lord please expand my vision for my role and calling in my family.
Train me to love my spouse the way You call me to and help me to be a blessing to everyone in my home.
Turn my heart toward the ministry of my home.
I want to excel and succeed as the keeper of my home.
Guard my heart from other loves and impurity.
Give me the self control that I don't have on my own.
Give me the grace to live at home in such a way that Your Word would be honored. -Visionary Marriage

We don't have to be dead shaking frail leaves in the wind.

In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.  John 16:33

I am afraid of these tribulations that are talked about in the Bible.
Of the tribulations I hear people talk about,
but You tell us not to fear.
You are making us stronger.
You are making it so that we are not a shaking frail dead leaf in the wind.
Staying connected to You brings us life!
Thank you that You are our confidence.

"Fear restrains most of us.
We are afraid that we will never get what we want in life if we don't make it happen ourselves.
We should never derive our identity from another person,
nor should we impose ours upon anyone else.
Know who you are,
be free to reach your full potential,
but learn to operate in trust with God and with others,
not in fear.
Don't be afraid that if you don't make your dreams come true,
you will lose out in life. -Joyce Meyers

The world, even My own followers would see a lost cause.   
Outcast, spit on, scourged, they would see Me as conquered.   
How could they know that My spirit was free, unbroken, unharmed.
In My conquering power you walk unharmed today.   -God Calling

Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard,
what God has planned for those who love Him.  -1 Corinthians 2:9

I am very excited God!
Excited because I see You bringing me past fear as I walk with my hand in Yours.
I see hope.
All things that I saw as dead to me,
You are bringing to life in ways I could never imagine.
You have so much more for us, to satisfy us!
You give us joy, hope, peace.

Whatever God gives us , we must learn to hold loosely in our hands.
If we don't own anything, we cannot lose anything.   -Joyce Meyers

The way You speak to me makes me smile.

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels
and have not love,
I am like sounding brass or tinkling cymbal.   1 cor 13:1

If man only saw how vain is so much of his activity!  
So much work done in My Name is not acknowledged by Me.
As for Love:
Turn out from your hearts and lives all that is not loving,
so you will bear fruit,
and this shall all men know you are my disciples,
because you have love for one another. -God Calling

Thank You for Your stamp on our lives.
The imprint in each day when we see You at work in our lives.
Thank You that it is so tender,
How you speak to us.
In ways that no one else will ever know.
You make us smile in the intimate detail and answers You give us.

A time to keep silent and a time to speak.

A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.   eccl. 3:7

Thank You for this day and time.
Help us, guide us, guide our steps.

A candle must not be set under a bushel,
but be put on a candlestick,
that it may give light to all who are in the house.
They must see and know your joy,
and seeing it,
know without any doubt that it springs from trust in Me.
From living with Me.
The hard dull way of resignation is NOT my way.
So trust, so conquer, so joy.
Love, love, love of Me.
The consciousness of My presence. -God Calling

We find ourselves torn sometimes, Lord,
it is hard to know on any day which decisions are to be made.
Guide our paths, light our way.
Tell us when to speak and when to be silent.
Let us not be the the hider who is afraid to speak.
Give us courage and inspiration when we are to speak.
Let us not be the person who tramples on others with their speaking.
Don't let us decide that our 'rights' give us the right to scream and yell at others.
Help us to treat others with dignity even when we have been wronged.
Guide us as how to be a witness for Your love.

MARRIAGE
A spouse's verbalized appreciation will mean more to the partner than a counselor's will.
Empathy from a spouse will touch deeper then a mere counselor's.
Help us Father with the mystery of the two becoming one.

JEALOUSY
Ever find yourself jealous of someone because they have something that you think you want?
It is an ugly feeling!
God has a unique plan for each of our lives and the gifts He gives us are part of that plan.
We can trust Him.
He knows His business.
Our business is to walk in love.
Love is not envious.
It does not boil over with jealousy.
Anyone who intends to have a strong love walk will have to grow beyond being envious and jealous of other people.  -Joyce Meyer

Only in You can this happen!
