Jesus Calling: September 21

Wait quietly in My Presence while My thoughts form silently in the depths of your being. Do not try to rush this process, because hurry keeps your heart earthbound. I am the Creator of the entire universe, yet I choose to make My humble home in your heart. It is there where you know Me most intimately; it is there where I speak to you in holy whispers. Ask My Spirit to quiet your mind so that you can hear My still, small voice within you. I am speaking to you continually: words of Life...Peace...Love. Tune your heart to receive these messages of abundant blessing. Lay your requests before Me and wait in expectation
I Kings 19:12
New King James Version

and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

Verse Thoughts
In this moment, God chose to be lenient; he is merciful. The Gospel is a gentle voice of love, grace, mercy, of peace, pardon, righteousness, and salvation by Christ. 

Psalm 5:3
English Standard Version

O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;
    in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.

Verse Thoughts
The first thing I am to do in the morning is pray. It is to go to God. Some turn on the TV and some read the newspaper, but I am to begin my day with my Creator. Only God knows what is in store for my day so I should begin the day talking to him.

  3. On the journey of life, our greatest joy is being in relationships, with our Lord, with our spouse, with family, with a true friend, with each other in whatever manner or form it takes (even sharing thoughts in a blog). The most blessed moments of the relationship is when we take the time to open our hearts to share thoughts and expressions of love with each other. That cannot be a hurried activity for in a state of hurriedness we are not fully present in the relationship. I am blessed by this time with you. May God bless you this day.

  5. Heavenly Father, Thank you for this morning and the desire to spend quiet time with You. Too many days I am rushed and am thankful for the reminder to wait and listen to what You want me to hear. Too many times I am guilty of giving you a grocery list of things I need to fulfill my will. I pray that I surrender this day and my will to You and ask in return for You to guide me through this day to fulfill Your will for me.

  7. This is the day You have made Lord and placed me in, I Thank You for it and acknowledge Your Presence and Holiness. I ask that You remove the Spirit of heaviness on me this morning and replace it with the Spirit of praise. Thank You for Your faithfulness oh Lord.

    My JC family, I pray for your day to be blessed and filled with the goodness of God throughout, as you receive His Love, Peace and blessings.

    Please join me in praying for my brother who is ill in an international hospital. We have not told my mom to avoid her worrying. My siblings and I are trusting God for His recovery and allowing His will to be done.
    My mom lost her older son some years ago to sickness and this is her only remaining son. I stand on the promises of God for healing and restoration. Praying for peace in my spirit to take away this heaviness from yesterday and a night of tossing and turning.

    Lord, as we wait quietly in Your Presence, let fear, doubt, worry and the lies of the enemy be destroyed and replaced with Your Peace, Love, faith, hope, trust and joy, giving thanks to Your Holy name. I cover my brother right now in the Precious healing Blood of Jesus our Saviour, declaring that by HIS stripes, Adam is healed In Jesus name. THANK YOU Father!

    Covering ALL the broken, all prayer requests and thanking God for the answers to each.

    Let the Peace of God and the Love of the Holy Spirit rest upon us as we wait quietly in the Presence of our Lord.

    Blessings to all.

  14. Anonymous--- One of the first thing to do like Sassy Mom said, "Before you get out of bed be sure to put on THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD. You find that in Ephesians 6:10-18. The next thing to do when satan is attacking is find a scripture or scriptures that speak to you and your circumstances. The scripture is your sword and everytime satan comes at you, you say that scripture. satan CAN'T stand the word!! You need to be to be persistent in stabbing him with that sword(The Word). You may have to do it a hundred times a day, but that Word brings deliverance, clarity of mind and peace. And our Lord never leaves you alone, He is right there with you. I will put scriptures on note cards and put them where I can readily see them. I also put them in a pocket of my clothing so I can have the the SWORD close. Use that Sword often!!! One of my favorite scriptures to hit satan with is:Psalm 107:19-20 "Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them from their distresses. He sent His word and healed them, and rescued them from their pit and destruction." Then you ALWAYS thank the Lord for his help. Other JC WARRIORS will have great wisdom to share, but this will get you started in the right direction. I will be praying that you will be VICTORIOUS in this battle. Make no mistake, this is SPIRITUAL WARFARE! Lord, I bind up satan over Anonymous and plead ,Jesus, your life saving blood over Anonymous,from the crown of the head to the soles of the feet. Amen and Amen

  17. THOUGHTS ON INTIMACY WITH OUR LORD

    Because of temporary computer limitations, I am unable to write out my thoughts for you. But I am able to cut and paste. This was taken from the publication, ‘Magnificat’ which I use as my personal guide in my morning devotions. Saturday I shared thoughts with you on approaching our Lord with praise & thanksgiving when our heart is heavy. Here is an example of a thanksgiving prayer of an individual who was imprisoned as a Christian for thirteen years.

    Gratitude Over Grumbling

    If I keep my eyes open and my spirit alert, I will live in continual thanksgiving. I am overwhelmed by the memory of so many graces: my mother’s womb, the milk with which she nourished me, my father’s labor and sweat, the knowledge and formation received from teachers, the devotion of priests whose hands blessed, pardoned, gave the Body of Christ, and imparted the anointing of the sick to my body.
    Thank you, Lord, for having chosen me to be your child. Thank you for having given me Mary for my Mother. Thank you for the mission I received from you in the Church. Thank you for having revealed your mysteries to me. Thank you for so many brothers and sisters who sustain me.
    Thank you for the people who place obstacles on my path and cause me trouble; they help me to become holy. Thank you for my birth as a Vietnamese. Thank you for allowing me to live in this particular time in history. Thank you for giving me a share in your bitter chalice.
    I should sing your praise my whole life long for just one of these gifts. How much more praise I should give you for the innumerable graces, which I alone know, and for all the graces I am not aware of or do not remember. I will need an eternity to thank you unceasingly. How can I repay you, Lord, for filling my life with so many good things?
    Venerable Francis Xavier NguyΓͺn VΔƒn ThuΓ’n

  18. I truly messed up on remembering the "Oh wells". Thank you to everyone who commented on my posts from yesterday. I would love to retell my story and fill in the gaps sometime. When I first started following this blog I could post with out any problems For whatever reason over the last year or so I wasn't able to post unless I was on my computer and that is so hard to get accoplished for me.
    I would love to have you join me in prayer. I have an eye doctor appointment 9/21. I have seen the same low vision specialist since I was 17. My eye doctor sold his practice and I'm seeing a new low vision person. Every year I need to have my eye doctor fill out a form so I can keep my driver's license. I drive with special glasses called the bi optic, sort of like glasses with one binocular lens on it. I've had many,, many years under my docs care that the thought of something so important in someone else's hands. My vision hasn't changed and I'm not going to fall into the "what if trap". Please pray peace over me and favor around me.
    I will also continue lifting you all up in prayer. What a privilege and blessing to approach our Fathers thrown to petition for those he desires to help.
    Lord open up a window and throw us out a blessing!

    PSALM 143
    Let me see Your Kindness to me in the morning, for I am trusting You. Show me where to walk. My prayer is sincere.

    MY PRAYER FOR US:
    Dear Heavenly Father God,
    Sonrises hold so much promise of a new day, a new opportunity, and a fresh new start.  First, Thank You for today's Sonrise, the last one of this Summer's Season. As my brother reminded me, "The ending of old is the beginning of new"!  Even when the calmness of gentle Summer ending beach waves don't soothe us, would You remind us that The Sonrise is the first signal starting each new day so we can also start anew? A new day. A new clean slate. A new watch for the Son. A new quiet. A new whisper we  hear from You. A new beginning. I ask. I pray. I thank. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

    All my days, I've been held in your hands
    From the moment that I wake up
    Until I lay my head
    Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

    And all my life You have been faithful
    And all my life You have been so, so good
    With every breath that I am able
    Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

    I love your voice
    You have led me through the fire
    And in darkest night You are close like no other
    I've known You as a Father
    I've known You as a Friend
    And I have lived in the goodness of God, yeah!

    And all my life You have been faithful
    And all my life You have been so, so good
    With every breath that I am able
    Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

    'cause your goodness is running after, it's running after me
    Your goodness is running after, running after me
    With my life laid down, I'm surrendered now
    I give You everything
    'cause Your goodness is running after, it keeps running after me

    And all my life You have been faithful
    And all my life You have been so, so good
    With every breath that I am able
    Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

  26. Loving Heavenly Father, It’s a new day, fresh anointing has been poured upon us. We thank You and give You all the praise for this day. Our call to wait on You is an invitation to trust and hope, believing that one day, You will make all things right. Because You are of such infinite greatness and glory, it seems that our nature has become so estranged from You, that it requires our whole heart and desire to be set upon You, to know and receive You. We pray this day, that all those things that hinders us in our perfect waiting on You, be cast off and thrown in the lake of fire, so that we can understand the deep meaning of:”Take heed, and be quiet”; ”In quietness...shall be your strength”; ”It is good that a man should....quietly wait” (Isa. 7:4.). It is the confession of our desire to sink into our nothingness and to let You work and reveal Yourself to us.
    Help us to let go of the tyranny of talking and doing, so that we can enjoy moments of being silent with You. Help us to take time to secure stillness from man, the world, all duties, all cares, all joys and from self and its energy, to be still and quiet before You, while allowing the Word and prayer to be very precious. Do let us wait quietly before You, oh Lord, because it is in our times of waiting, seeking You in prayer, listening to You as well as talking to You, shutting out the clatter and quietly wait, that You unfold to us Your person, purposes, promises, and plan.
    Thank You for making it possible to know You and experience an amazing transformation in our own lives as we lay our requests before You and wait in expectation. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

    The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord (Lamentations 3:25-26).

    But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me (Micah 7:7 ).

    Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long (Psalm 25:5 ).

    Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him (Isaiah 30:18 ).

    I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope (Psalm 130:5)

    Blessings and Peace.

    Maplewood, NJ

  27. I am struggling today.
    It has to do with fear. Around our neighborhood there are multiple signs planted in front yards stating their views on what matters and in rainbow colors stating views on what wins. I want to put signs up stating how God ‘s love is all that matters but am terrified that harm may come my way. In 2Timothy 2:12 it says if we deny God , He will deny us. I need to be strong and courageous but having such a hard time doing so. Would love God given wisdom.

  28. Everyone will always have their views that differ from ours. I called an old friend last night and she no longer believes in Christ as her Savior. She is more about energy and the universe and a lot of things that I don't believe in. But I stayed on the phone for an hour talking to her. She had a lot of things on her mind and we talked. I told her I couldn't get through a day without Jesus and every good thing I do or have is only because of Him. The last thing she said was I love you. You are not denying Him by failing to put a sign outside your home. Your neighbors can very well see the light of Christ in your daily walk, words and deeds. God is the only one you have to please. Just ignore their signs. We need no outward neon lights to show we belong to Him. We just keep living in God's love, mercy, kindness and peace. Be not afraid. We are all taken care of because we seek Him and He knows His own.

  31. Heavenly Father, thank You for always being with me. I praise You Lord always. Quiet my mind so I can hear Your thoughts and not my own. Let me hear Your still small voice within me. Reprogram my way of thinking to be like Yours. Lord, where I am stubborn and resist You and Your purposes for my life, knock the sharp edges off my life. Mold me to become Your true child. Shape me so that I am sensitive and responsive to You. May Christ be formed within me. Let Your ways be mine. Lead me along the path You have prepared for me Lord and let me be of good courage and passion to do what You created me to do. I want to enjoy and delight in You and our time together. Remove this negative spirit from me and replace it with Your Spirit. Help me to walk in Your Spirit and not in my flesh. Remind me that You only have my best interest at heart and that the plans You have for me are for good and not for evil. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.

  32. Today's devotion and scripture tells us
    ...He chooses to make His humble home in our heart. It is in our heart where we know Him most intimately; it is in our heart where He speaks to us in holy whispers. It is in our hearts where God's Holy Spirit quiets us until our minds hear His still, small voice within...
    From 2 Thessalonians 3, May our Lord Jesus Christ direct our hearts into God's love and Christ's perserverance
    as He does with sea turtle hearts fresh out of their shell. While on the beach, we were blessed to see newborn baby sea turtles hatch out of their eggs, rise to the top of the sand, and make their way into the ocean. Once they were in the ocean, where God designed them to be, they were no longer vulnerable to seagulls, raccoons nor ghost crabs. With their paddle like legs, tiny delicate shell backs, and fresh newborn eyes guided by God, these brand new creatures find their way from the sandy beach underground nesting spot into His ocean waters.
    By Divine Mercy, when we are born again by God's Holy Spirit, our hearts come out of their shells and also get ushered toward our true life and Godly adventures. Just as God does with His newborn baby sea turtles, He also gives us direction. The baby sea turtles may use the downward slope of the shore, or the white splashes and sounds of breaking waves, or the light of the horizon, or the magnetic field of the earth as their guideposts. Once the newly born baby sea turtles reach their God intended ocean destination, then His currents can usher them toward their new sea home. In much the same way, the same God directs our hearts toward our destination of His Love and His Peace, with guidance from His Word found in the Scriptures, His Light found in His Presence, and His Encouragement found in His Love. We may feel as awkward getting there as newly born baby sea turtles. Keeping our eyes and hearts open to the cues of His Guidance, we too, can reach the ocean of God's protective Love, where His currents push us forward to our next destination.

    Dear Heavenly Father God, would You please lead us to the currents of Your Everlasting Love, with Your Ongoing Energy and Strength? In Jesus' Name I ask. I seek. I knock. I praise. I thank. I yield. Amen.

  34. "Wait in My Presence, don't rush the process"; While discussing this with Him, He reminded me that tea takes time to brew,coffee too. The finest wines tale time to mature,so does good cheese. A beef roast slow cooked is more tender and more easily assimilated than a rushed roast. So slowing down in His presence, being quiet before Him, allowing Him to soak into me enables a depth of intimacy that only develop with time. I love the way my Lord Jesus speak; leading gently, sometimes with a wry sense of humor.Beautiful :)

    3. Slow Me Down Lord
      by Wilferd Arlan Peterson
      Slow me down, Lord.
      Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.
      Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time.
      Give me, amid the confusion of the day, the calmness of the everlasting hills.
      Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of the singing streams that live in my memory. Help me to know the magical, restoring power of sleep.
      Teach me the art of taking minute vacations—of slowing down to look at a flower,
      to chat with a friend,
      to pat a dog,
      to read a few lines from a good book.
      Remind me each day of the fable of the hare and the tortoise,
      that I may know that the race is not always to the swift—
      that there is more to life than increasing its speed.
      Let me look upward into the branches of the towering oak
      and know that it grew great and strong because it grew slowly and well.
      Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of life’s enduring values that I may grow toward the stars of my greater destiny.
      Amen.

      Delete
    4. Thank you Peter! Words of truth. Running into His waiting arms often and opening our hearts to Him and really resting in Him is so important. In prayer we speak to Him and in quiet meditation with Him, He speaks to us.

  35. GraceTakesTime so amazing that you posted about the song "He is in the waiting". I have been blessed this morning with extra time with the Lord. Thank you Jesus. I was able to go through previous posts from over the years and I saw a post that I had posted about that very song. It holds a dear place in my heart. God has brought us through so much, he is always faithful. We still have great struggles with raising our grandchildren, but I have been reminded he will bring us to the other side. My job is to love and serve God. To be him to our children and everyone I come in contact with. Lord forgive me for presenting flesh instead of you. Please have your will in me and live through me. Thank you Lord for this deep time I had with you today. My little guy normally wakes up at 6:30. He has slept in an hour and a half. Lord please don't let him be sick. Thank you for blessing me with this quiet God alone time.

    2. Hi Terri, I've been thinking of you lately. I went to my first doctor's appointment here in OR with a new doctor. I mentioned that I had been a part time then full time caregiver to my mom over the last five years and now I'm in a new place and new season and figuring out what is next. I didn't mean to make it a point of interest, I was just catching him up with where I'm at in life when he asked what I do. He deliberated on this information and even revisited it a second time before the apt. was over because he wanted to make sure I was okay. He wanted to share how he knew this is so taxing on us and can really take a toll on us. It was very kind of him to not pass this up and it helped validate how hard it actually was on me and helped knowing it wasn't just me that thought so. I thought of you and how similarly exhausted you are sometimes and I want you to know also that it is understood. We have our Faith to know that God takes us through it and is with us. I hope what I wrote helps you in some way. Love, Kathy

      Delete
    3. What you wrote helps in a lot of ways, dear Kathy. Today when I woke up at 2 am to pray my self up for a two hour drive beginning at 4 am in pitch black night with no street nor interstate lights for 50 of those miles, in order to pick Keith up and get him to 3 appointments, with the first one beginning at 7 am today, does anybody really know or care what I am going through? Does it really matter? Do I? Thanks my dear sister friend for validating that Someone does care, and many of us have had and are still having the been there, done that experience. What a wonderful doctor you had to take the time to care about the caregiver. I suspect s/he was one? We are at appointment number 2 now, and I took a break to visit with my true framily in our JC Prayer Warrior's Room, who keep up the faith cadence, regardless of what comes and goes, one way or the other. Love and Peace being prayed for us all. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

    4. Terri, I'm happy that your little guy slept in so you could have precious time with the Lord. Your day will go much better and you will bring God's peace to the little ones. God is so good. All we need to do is show them this. My little 3 yr old grand understands this already! What a blessing.
      Kathy, Maybe God guided your doctor to open up his ears and heart to your situation. After such a long time of caring for your dear Mom, you are in a new chapter and you needed a little comfort and loving kindness. Amen! Our Faith is our Anchor to Heaven and we are not walking through this world alone. Love to you dear sisters.

    5. Waiting/ Kathy thank you more than I can say. I live my days trying to do what God has called me to do, but honestly I'm beyond exhausted. It's not from cooking big dinners or trying to make the house or the kids look perfect. It's from just being there for them, trying to meet the needs of children that sin and the enemy have tried breaking. I say tried because I have a God that bigger than any of the stupid stuff that has been thrown at them. God's perfect will for them is not a list of diagnosis. What they need is to be held, loved and to know they matter to us and most importantly to God.
      Yes it's hard, but to that I say "whoop-dee-doo". This to shall pass.

  44. Please pray for my daughter this morning as she has a procedure done. She is anxious and sometimes these procedures can be painful. Prayers for the Dr. to have wisdom, guidance and gentleness. That my daughter is healed in the places the Dr. is looking and super strength for my daughter. She is a special person and has been through so much in her short life so far. She’s only 20 and has had several procedures, surgeries, pokes and sticks from needles, transfusions including blood transfusions, etc etc…Thanks everyone. Tori Faith is her name. God bless y’all ♥️

  45. It is the greatest honor, the most humbling experience on waking, to welcome the Creator, the Lover of our soul our Lord Jesus into our day.
    To open up to Him giving over to Him our day and all it will consist of is most precious.
    To quieten down and listen for His still small voice, waiting patiently for Him is a hallowed time indeed.
    I received this today:
    Micah 6:8 " He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

  46. You missed one:

    Colossians 1:16
    New King James Version
    For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

  49. Thanking each of you JC Saints who are praying for my DH. They got him in for his Cardiac tests (echocardiogram and nuclear stress test) at 5:45 a.m. a week from tomorrow. They were saying it may be Oct/Nov but God moved some mountains! Apparently, the tests will take most of the morning. That gives us a week for specific prayer for the results. He still feels great but will be glad to have the results so he knows whether or not he can resume his chemo. My prayer is that they know by next week whether the chemo caused the heart episode or not. Praying circles 'round my Best Man!
