God’s Whisper
My Beloved,
Come to the Garden of My Presence. Feel the cool autumn breeze on your face.
I long to be with you. But you scurry about in your self-constructed world of worries and mountain of tasks.
Rest in Me.
Let Me renew your spirit and strengthen your teetering soul.
Come. Stay in My presence as I touch each strain, each pain, concern, fear, worry. Call out each one. Let it go. Feel the renewing in your mind and heart.
Let the autumn breeze carry each care away. Be filled with my life-giving refreshment. Be filled with my joy.
Yes, My Beloved, my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Your weak human frame was never intended for such great burden. Be free today in my mercy and grace.
Love, the Father.
Prayer for Today
Father, I pray for myself and each person who is burdened down with a load of care that you never intended for us to bear. Help us to “let go and let you”. And trust you with each concern. Renew us again, oh Lord with the fruit of your spirit: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. Strengthen us in this difficult season of Covid and injustice. We pray for your will and the power to carry it out. Bless our nation during these difficult times. Amen.
Scriptures for Today
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 AMP).
“You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” (Psalm 16:11 AMP).
“But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness,” (Galatians 5:22 AMP).
