“LEARN TO LIVE above your circumstances. This requires focused time with The LORD, the One who overcame the world. Trouble and distress are woven into the very fabric of this perishing world. Only GOD’S Life in you can empower you to face this endless flow of problems with good cheer. As you sit quietly in The LORD’S Presence, GOD shines Peace into your troubled mind and heart. Little by little, you are freed from earthly shackles and lifted up above your circumstances. You gain The LORD’S perspective on your life, enabling you to distinguish between what is important and what is not. Rest in GOD’S Presence, receiving Joy that no one can take away from you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33 (NKJV)
So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. JOHN 16 : 22
Prayer: Lord help me to spend quiet time with you each day so you can infuse your peace and joy despite any circumstance life may bring. Help me to see things from your perspective and distinguish what is important and what is not today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
