Finding God’s Presence ~ He Will Carry You in Your Weariness

bible devotions online, Christian speaker, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer, women's ministry | 0

Lord, I look to You for my source of strength, my unspeakable joy, and my perfect peace. I look to You, Lord, for You are faithful, Your promises are true. You carry me when I’m too weary to stand. In your tenderness, you wipe the tears that flow so freely.

I pray for others who need to be reminded of Your great love. Sometimes, the difficulties of life circumvent our knowledge of Your grace and abiding Presence. You haven’t gone anywhere, but suddenly in our frustration and angst, You seem afar off — aloof to our needs.

Finding God’s Presence ~ Beloved of God. Our Role? Be-Loved

Perhaps Noah looked about at the safe gathering of two kinds of every living creature on the earth and thought, “It is well.”

What manner of love is this? In the face of mass destruction God made a way to save His righteous ones. He did not remain afar off watching the destruction of a rebellious people with satisfaction, but instead, as only a Father can, He made sure His child was safe in the storm — God personally closed the door behind Noah and his family.

Where is God When My Flesh Stinks?

This I know … my flesh stinks. Please forgive me for my snarky thoughts. My tongue is sore from biting it. Thank You for the self-control not to speak my mind, but please forgive me for my thoughts that were not of You. Renew my thoughts by the power of Your Word. I bring them captive to Your Lordship because I so desire to please You in all things, especially the difficult places.

In child-like faith I recently scooped up the fragile pieces of my shattered life, and carried them to my Father. I placed them in His capable hands — put my hope in Him — and trusted Him to guard and resurrect my life.

Warmth from the brilliant light of His Presence infused my weary spirit. I lay upon the soft fleece of the Lamb who died that I might live. And I rested. And waited —

The Lord, My Burden-Bearer

I pray for those who are drowning in their sorrows, floundering under the weight of burdens You did not ask them to carry. I ask that You give them the courage to raise the burden from themselves and willingly hand it over to You. I ask that You give us all a visual of this powerful transaction and Your desire to carry the load, for Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light … when we ask for Your help, when we give it to You. Help us to always ask for Your help, Lord.

A Safe Place to Praise

High above the meadow, nestled in the branches of the oak tree, a melody rang out. Cloaked in red velvet, a cardinal sang praise to her Creator. She was in a safe place, held in the shelter of the oak, supported by the strength of branches bare against the wind of winter’s cold.

She found a safe place to praise.

High above the fray.

Lord, I can hear You calling, feel You nudging, tapping my shoulder to turn and face You and fall into Your open arms. You want me to rest in You, to conquer the anxiety pounding in my heart — the depression that stifles and isolates me.

You want me to stand still, be still, cease striving, and watch as You part the waters that I must pass through.
