APRIL 24th
REST IN THE STILLNESS of My Presence—while I prepare you for this day. Let the radiance of My Glory shine upon you as you wait on Me in confident trust. Be still, and know that I am God. There is both a passive and an active side to trusting Me. As you rest in My Presence, focusing on Me—I quietly build bonds of trust between us. When you respond to the circumstances of your life with affirmations of trust—you actively participate in this process.
I am always with you, so you have no reason to be afraid. Your fear often manifests itself in excessive planning. Your mind is so accustomed to this pattern of thinking that you are only now becoming aware of how pervasive it is and how much it hinders your intimacy with Me. Repent of this tendency and resist it whenever you realize you are wandering down this well-worn path. Return to My Presence, which always awaits you in the present moment—I accept you back with no condemnation.
MEDITATION:

“This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.”
—Isaiah 30:15
TODAY:

Dear Father, I am strong because I choose to believe that your peace and loving presence are always with me. I give thanks with a grateful heart. I will always bring my request to you through Jesus, Amen.
