Jesus Calling: November 10

Focus your entire being on My living Presence. I am most assuredly with you, enveloping you in My Love and Peace. While you relax in My Presence, I am molding your mind and cleansing your heart. I am recreating you into the one I designed you to be.
     As you move from stillness into the activities of your day, do not relinquish your attentiveness to Me. If something troubles you, talk it over with Me. If you get bored with what you are doing, fill the time with prayers and praise. When someone irritates you, don't let your thoughts linger on that person's faults. Gently nudge your mind back to Me. Every moment is precious if you keep your focus on Me. Any day can be a good day, because My Presence permeates all time.

Psalm 89:15-16

English Standard Version

Blessed are the people who know the festal shout,
who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face,
who exult in your name all the day
and in your righteousness are exalted.

I John 3:19-20

English Standard Version
By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.

Jude 24-25
English Standard Version
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Psalm 41:12
English Standard Version
But you have upheld me because of my integrity,
and set me in your presence forever.

My Prayer (2022)

Lord, I notice in my life a habit forming of not thinking of You first when I experience trials, difficult situations. Instead, I think of first -- who can I talk with, who will listen to me. Lord, would you re-train me to go to you first? Nudge me back to You. You know everything and yet I too often act like you are a last resort than a first solution. Thank you for placing good people in my life and I do value their words and their listening ear, and I will continue to consult them, but first let me start with You God. Lord, I do ask that I am the person that You see that listens to You and will relax in Your presence.
