Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Fatigue comes in many forms. After working hard in the garden, you are physically worn out. After a day at work, your brain is tired of thinking. When life brings pressure of deadlines, stress levels rise. When things go wrong, frustration sets in. When bills pile up, worry nags at you. When prayers seem to go unanswered, weariness sets in. Recognize that your current emotional state is off-kilter and make a concerted effort to meditate on the truth. The truth is I am here to guide and comfort. The truth is that Jesus abides in you and you in Him. The truth is I see and hear and know what is going on. I understand your frustrations, your setbacks, your longings, your desires for peace, belonging and joy. These desires are in line with My desires for you. You can experience peace, belonging and joy with Me. You won’t find these in the world. If you do, they are fleeting and empty. They don’t last and soon you are discouraged again. Look up, the sun is shining; it is a new day. It is a day to open your heart once again and breathe in the light of life. There is a time for sorrow and a time for joy. I am here for both. Let your heart and mind focus on My goodness. You will rejoice and be glad!

“…yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.” Habakkuk 3:18 ESV
