Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

You are distracted by many things. You think you can control many things. You can only control yourself and you struggle with that. Your emotions run high with stress and adverse circumstances. You desire to be even keel, but I desire that you abide in me. You can’t control your emotions because you take your eyes off me. Instead of focusing on the duties, to-do list and challenging people, focus on my abiding presence. The other stuff will get done.

for God gave us a spirit

not of fear 

but of power and love and self control.

2 Timothy 1:7   ESV
