    I hear the Lord say:

    I delight in your praise and worship. My heavenly angels praise and worship Me all day and night. Their cries of “Holy, Holy, Holy” reverberate around My throne.

    My angels join you when you worship. My divine power is present and ever working.  Let Me be first and foremost in all you do. Seek first My Kingdom and all else will fall into place.  I am faithful and true. I am trustworthy and know the best path for you. I designed your personality and have a perfect place for you in My kingdom.  You have a singular purpose and design.  I designed your gifts – your strengths and passions. Your weaknesses are part of My design. Your weaknesses are there to lead you to Me for strength, wisdom and hope.

    Follow Me. We have much to do! I have more adventures to share!

    But Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,

    and all these things will be given to you as well.

    Matthew 6:33 NIV

    I hear the Lord say:

    Your times are in My Hands.

    This means you can trust Me with your life – all of it. 

    Your past, your present, your future.

    Your today and tomorrow.

    Your health, your job, your family, your finances.

    All things work together for good to those who love Me and all called according to My purpose.

    Keep seeking. Keep trusting.

    Those know your name trust in you, 

    for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

    Psalm 9:10  NIV

    I hear the Lord say:

    Your health and well-being are in My Hands. I will take care of you. I see your fear. Fear drives you off My chosen path. It’s the gutter ball in bowling. It leads to nowhere and is in a rut. Think of My Word – Scripture – and My strength as bumper pads in a bowling lane.  You can’t go wrong when you have Me protecting and guiding you, steering you back to My path. Trust Me to be there.  Cast off fear. All is in My hands.  I have good things planned for you!

    Do not be anxious about anything,

    but in every situation,

    by prayer and petition,

    with thanksgiving,

    present your requests to God.

    Philippians 4:6  NIV

    I hear the Lord say:

    This morning and every morning, surrender your day to Me.  Your day will have up and down moments. Just ride the day like a surfer rides the waves.  Bob up and down on the water, feeling the warm sun, cool ocean water and gentle breeze.  Perform each task with joy and calm.  No rush.  Surfers on their surfboards paddle, wait, surf and do it again. It’s a repeated process. To enjoy surfing, you must expend effort to paddle out, wait for the right wave, and then paddle, jump up and ride in!  Life will have its exhilarating moments but it’s the effort and waiting and working that make the end result so enjoyable.  I delight in offering you life with pleasure, joy and peace. Remember – Life is good.

    You make known to me the path of life;

    you fill me with joy in your presence,

    with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

    Psalm 16:11  NIV

    I hear the Lord say:

    I pour out My Spirit to all those who believe and desire to receive.  I give freely and fully. I am available 24/7, offering life-giving encouragement, support, inspiration and discernment.  Come to Me with all your problems, concerns, issues and petitions.  Let Me reassure you that I care for you and know what is best for you. I’ll answer all your questions.  I’ll give you insight from my heavenly throne.  I’ll show you My perspective. Find your soul-satisfaction in and through Me. My joy is yours – feast on it!

    He refreshes my soul.

    He guides me along right paths for his name’s sake.

    Psalm 23:3   NIV

    I hear the Lord say:

    Day by day, seek Me in the stillness. 

    Open your heart and mind to new possibilities.

    Let me lead you in our dance called Life. 

    Rhythms of grace gently pulse over you, a gentle wind,

    a symphony of sound, calling you

    – come in, come closer, come deeper, come higher.

    …to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,

    the oil of joy instead of mourning,

    and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.

    Isaiah 61:3

    I hear the Lord say:

    Dear one, you are indispensable to Me!  You matter to Me. I created you and you alone because I saw you before you were born.  I knew the joy you would bring to your parents, your siblings and your friends.  I designed you uniquely and have a special plan for you.  Only you can accomplish it.  I designed your personality and it is good.  Continue to draw near, rely on Me; only listen to My voice.  Ignore feelings of aloneness or fear.  You can trust Me all the time. My strength is your strength.  My joy is your joy. Let the day unfold in communion with Me.

    Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in Him.
    Jeremiah 17:7  NIV
