A Prayer When Worry Takes Your Breath away

Posted by Nan Jones | Apr 19, 2020 | beyond the veil, bible devotions online, Coronavirus, depression, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, peace, prayer |

Lord, I need Your peace — YOU are my peace. Please make Your presence known to me. In Your presence is unspeakable joy, resounding peace, and my worry melts away. In Your presence I am safe and secure — I am held by Your warm embrace and I can rest.

What a mighty God You are! You hung the stars in place. You tell the ocean how far it can come and on each new day, You make the sun burst through the darkness. What amazes me the most about You, though, is that when I am troubled and overcome by worry, You know and You respond.

When Your Mind and Heart Languish Numb and God Steps In

I sat quietly at my desk peering out the window, yet my eyes saw nothing, my mind languished numb against the onslaught of troubling thoughts — those worrisome, nagging doubts and fears. My mind was blank, therefore my eyes were looking, but not seeing.

I had prayed earlier, but even that was not in earnest. I was looking for God, but not seeing Him. Just sitting before Him with a blank stare.

Lord, I don’t enjoy my painful places, those thorns that cause my heart to bleed and my mind to grow restless. I yearn for some green pastures and quiet waters.

I yearn for You.

Sirens began their eerie scream as the sky turned dark and the clouds began to undulate in the currents of the wind. Kids hurried home from the apartment playground while worried mommas called their names, fear hammering our hearts.

I grabbed our upstairs neighbor — another seminary student — and convinced her to stay with us until the tornado passed.

A Prayer When You Need a Silver Lining in the Storm Clouds

Posted by Nan Jones | Apr 5, 2020 | beyond the veil, bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

I’m learning, Lord, that You are the silver lining when the storm clouds billow and threaten destruction over my life. You are the light in the darkness. The glory of Your abiding presence creates the brilliant outline surrounding the charcoal gray of the storm.

Yes, Lord, it is because of Your presence in the storm that the silver lining appears.
