Jesus Calling: December 7

I AM with you in all that you do, even in the most menial task. I am always aware of you, concerned with every detail of your life. Nothing escapes My notice -- not even the number of hairs on your head. However, your awareness of My Presence falters and flickers, as a result, your life experience feels fragmented. When your focus is broad enough to include Me in your thoughts, you feel safe and complete. When your perception narrows so that problems or details fill your consciousness, you feel empty and incomplete.
     Learn to look steadily at Me in all your moments and all your circumstances. Though the world is unstable and in flux, you can experience continuity through your uninterrupted awareness of My Presence. Fix your gaze on what is unseen, even as the visible world parades before your eyes. 

Matthew 10:29-31
English Standard Version
²⁹ Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. ³⁰ But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. ³¹ Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Hebrews 11:27
English Standard Version
By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
 
2 Corinthians 4:18
English Standard Version
as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

My Prayer
Lord, you are with me. I need to know this at each moment, at each task in my day. Remind me. I don't want to lose sight of You living, working, being in my life. Lord, I must admit, my life seems segmented. I have time with you in the morning, then time at work, time with family, time doing chores - Help me Jesus to allow me to see You throughout my day so that I am never losing your presence in me. O Lord, thank you for the value you place on me and considering me valuable, that I am your child, and you want to be with me throughout my day.

Jesus Calling: April 3

    In Me you have everything. In Me you are complete. Your capacity to experience Me is increasing, through My removal of debris and clutter from your heart. As your yearning for Me increases, other desires are gradually lessening. Since I am infinite and abundantly accessible to you, desiring Me above all else is the best way to live.
    It is impossible for you to have a need that I cannot meet. After all, I created you and everything that is. The world is still at My beck and call, though it often appears otherwise. Do not be fooled by appearances. Things that are visible are brief and fleeting, while things that are invisible are everlasting. 

Ephesians 3:20
English Standard Version (ESV)
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,

2 Corinthians 4:18
Amplified Bible (AMP)
Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.

My Prayer
Lord, may I rest in the fact that You are at work within me. May this pervade my thinking throughout my day. I live often in stress and worry, and yet Lord all things are a gift from You. Lord, help me to uncover You throughout my day and see You in the events of My day. I get too busy and get distracted, I get too focused on my situations and Lord, I don't focus on making You known in my world. You Lord are the meaning of Life and You are patiently waiting for me to submit and surrender to You for you desire to make yourself known through Me. Remind me. It is in the things that I cannot see that are everlasting.
