He Knows Our Needs
Last week the Lord had me up for my 2:30AM prayer time. I was praying away for two friends whose husbands are critically ill and the couples in a parenting class we are leading. I felt the Lord say, "Open up Biblegateway.com and Jesus Calling. Being slow to obey once again I thought, "I think I'll just try to get back to sleep." "OPEN them up!" the Spirit prompted a bit more sternly and I am so thankful I did. There on my phone were perfect words to share with these woman and comforting verses for them to pray over their husbands.
"We know that God is always at work for the good of everyone who loves him.
They are the ones God has chosen for his purpose." Romans 8:28
Jesus Calling By Sarah Young For March 13
LEARN TO LIVE above your circumstances. This requires focused time with Me, the One who overcame the world. Trouble and distress are woven into the very fabric of this perishing world. Only My Life in you can empower you to face this endless flow of problems with good cheer.
As you sit quietly in My Presence, I shine Peace into your troubled mind and heart. Little by little, you are freed from earthly shackles and lifted up above your circumstances. You gain My perspective on your life, enabling you to distinguish between what is important and what is not. Rest in My Presence, receiving Joy that no one can take away from you.
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
