Do Not Worry About Tomorrow!!!

I AM PERPETUALLY WITH YOU, taking care of you.

That is the most important fact of your existence.

I am not limited by time or space; My Presence with you is a forever-promise.

You need not fear the future, for I am already there.

When you make that quantum leap into eternity, you will find Me awaiting you in heaven.

Your future is in My hands; I release it to you day by day, moment by moment.

Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow.

I want you to live this day abundantly, seeing all there is to see, doing all there is to do.

Don't be distracted by future concerns.

Leave them to Me!

Each day of life is a glorious gift, but so few people know how to live within the confines of today.

Much of their energy for abundant living spills over the time line into tomorrow's worries or past regrets.

Their remaining energy is sufficient only for limping through the day, not for living it to the full.

I am training you to keep your focus on My Presence in the present.

This is how to receive abundant Life, which flows freely from My throne of grace.

Stay Strong!

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
—MATTHEW 6: 34

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
—JOHN 10: 10

Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money."Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."
—JAMES 4: 13–15

All You Need in Times of Trouble

MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU.

THIS GRACE is enough to get you through your toughest times.

Do you believe this?

It's one thing to believe it when circumstances are going your way.

It's another thing altogether when you're struggling just to take the next step.

Yet this is when My grace is the most precious and glorious—when you know you cannot go another step without it.

Then it becomes the shining focus of your life.

I invite you to drink deeply from the exceeding riches of My grace—My favor, mercy, and lovingkindness.

It is a free gift that opens the way for you into eternity.

It also provides what you need to live now, in this fractured world.

So come freely into My Presence and pour out your heart to Me.

I do not always say yes to your petitions, but I do give you what you need.

And I always give you Myself—My compassionate understanding, My unfailing Love.

Do not be ashamed of your weaknesses; boast about them!

Through them you are learning to depend more on Me, so that My Power may dwell in you.

Stay Strong!

Your Hiding Place From All Trouble

IN THIS WORLD OF INCREASING ELECTRONIC surveillance, privacy can be hard to come by.

Safe places are also in short supply.

So when you feel surrounded by trouble, remember this: I am your Hiding Place.

Call out to Me, and I will protect you from trouble.

I will even surround you with songs of deliverance.

One of the best ways to draw upon My strength is to sing praises to Me.

I actually dwell in the praises of My people.

So when problems are weighing heavily upon you, break free by worshiping Me—in songs, in shouts, even in whispers.

These sacred acclamations decimate the darkness and invite Me into your awareness, brightening the atmosphere around you.

Problems fade into the background while you are engaged in worshiping Me.

Awareness of My Presence strengthens you and fills you with Joy.

When you praise Me in the midst of a hard day, both you and I are blessed.

I come near, and I hide you in the secret place of My Presence.

Soothe Your Troubled Heart

LET MY COMFORTS DELIGHT YOUR SOUL.

The world presents you with a multitude of anxieties—too numerous for you to count.

Everywhere you turn, you see problems and trouble.

In the midst of this mess, look to Me for help.

Whisper My Name, "Jesus," thus reactivating your awareness of My Presence.

Your perspective changes dramatically as My Presence comes onto the screen of your consciousness, lighting up your worldview.

My comforts can soothe your troubled heart and delight your soul.

If the world were perfect, you would never experience the pleasure of receiving comfort from Me.

Instead of letting problems discourage you, use them as reminders to seek Me—My Presence, My Peace, My Love.

These invisible realities are available to you any time, any place, and they provide Joy that no one can take away from you.

So come to Me when you are weary and burdened; I will provide rest for your soul.

Stay Strong!

Supply All You Need

I AM THE LORD OF PEACE.

I GIVE YOU PEACE at all times and in every way.

There is a deep, gaping hole within you that can be filled only by My peaceful Presence.

People who don't know Me try to fill that emptiness in many different ways, or they simply pretend it isn't there.

Even My children often fail to recognize the full extent of their need: at all times and in every situation.

But recognizing your neediness is only half the battle.

The other half is to believe I can—and will—supply all you need.

Shortly before My death, I promised Peace to My disciples—and to all who would become My followers.

I made it clear that this is a gift: something I provide freely and lovingly.

So your responsibility is to receive this glorious gift, acknowledging to Me not only your need but also your desire.

Then wait expectantly in My Presence, ready to receive My Peace in full measure.

If you like, you can express your openness by saying, "Jesus, I receive Your Peace."

Stay Strong!

"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you."
