Thanks, Laura. I think I'm physically, mentally, emotionally exhausted. Hopefully can take a break from things soon.
I know there are a number of things in my life I want to change. Not sure exactly how, though. *sigh* Thus the sense of powerlessness sometimes.
Psa 46:1 God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Psa 46:2 Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Psa 46:3 Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.Selah
Psa 46:4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
Psa 46:5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
Psa 46:6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
Psa 46:7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.Selah
Psa 46:8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
Psa 46:9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariot in the fire.
Psa 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
Psa 46:11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.Selah
COME ENTER MY REST
My child, come and cast your cares upon me,
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me,
Cast your burdens down at the foot of the cross,
I want to bring you into my rest, no need for toil.
I want you to incline your ear and listen to my voice,
Stop now and listen, learn to recognize my voice,
Child you keep going back to striving, busy doing,
Yet it should be the rest I give, you should be pursuing.
Dont you see that in your weakness I give you strength?
Child lean on me and you will do all things in my strength,
For it was I who sent the Holy Spirit to empower you.
Call upon me in your hour of need and I will hearken unto you.
Trust in me, put your faith in me in all things to enter my rest.
Its time to stop wavering when you are put to the test,
My dear child I see your heart and I see that its me you love,
I want you to rest in my presence and let me pour out my love.
Every tear I will wipe away, every hurt will be healed,
Approach my throne of grace in this your hour of need,
Repent and turn away from all that hinders perfect communion,
My arms are open wide and I long for that sweet communion.
Dont look for the applause of men, rather fix your eyes on me,
Put no confidence in your flesh but rely totally on me,
Give your all to me, walk my way, serve me with your whole being,
And you will know a joy and a rest which you have not yet seen.
I am jealous for your time, I know child that you long after me,
You can be so busy trying to show others my love you lose sight of me,
Yet to show my love you need that precious time with me.
Look to me daily to help you win the race and learn to rest in me.
Because you can run with me from the place of rest that I give,
I will give you my strength to empower you for service,
In my place of rest all your works will have fully ceased
And you will discover what it is from striving to be released.
So my child it is time for you to enter fully into my rest,
There is liberty and freedom and joy in that place of rest,
And I will direct all your paths and the way that you should go,
And in that place of rest, you in me will really start to grow.
Love from Jesus
