The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14: 14 NIV

Jesus knows our every need. In gentle moments to inspire the love of our faithfulness, He tugs at our hearts and helps us remember we are not alone. He allows us to feel the depth of His holiness, as we humble our hearts for Him. 

When we take time to listen, He readies us to welcome perfect peace. He opens our eyes to discover WHY we need Him. He sets the stage for what’s to come and helps us persevere. He reminds us we have a Father who is working for the GOOD. 

Sometimes, we can't feel His guiding, because of clutter we create. We become distracted in thoughts and forget how to honor the Father. We focus too much on the chaos, instead of searching for peace. And we forget how to welcome God's calm.

Jesus wants to give us strength and peace that passes all understanding. If we open our hearts to His presence and patiently wait, He will allow us to recognize the power of God's plan. He will bless us with love and show how to remain faithful. 

When the timing is right, God will open our eyes to discover the strength of His greatness. He will allow us to witness the depth of His love and help us discover when it’s time to STOP trying to figure out everything on our own. 

Dear God, Thank you for waking us to another day! Forgive us when we become distracted. Open the eyes of our hearts, so we will focus on YOU and feel the power of Your love. Thank you for Jesus! While we're cradled in care, helps us remember to patiently wait for You to prepare us for what's to come. We will find HOPE in the arms of Your strength, as we surrender our anxious thoughts and learn how it feels to be grateful. Thank you, Lord. Thank you! Amen
