God Speaking to Me

The last couple of days I have been anxious.  I woke up this morning especially worried.  Even though, over the last few weeks what I have been worried about has been fine it still sneaks up on me.  I read "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young as part of a daily devotional.  This morning it was like God was speaking to me - see below.


STOP WORRYING long enough to hear My voice.  I speak softly to you, in the depths of your being.  Your mind shuttles back and forth, hither and yon, weaving webs of anxious confusion.  As My thoughts rise up with you, they become entangled in those sticky webs of worry.  Thus, My voice is muffled, and you hear only "white noise."

Ask My Spirit to quiet your mind so that you can think My thoughts.  This ability is an awesome benefit of being My child, patterned after My own image.  Do not be deafened by the noise of the world or that of your own thinking.  Instead, be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Sit quietly in My presence, letting My thoughts reprogram your thinking.

I feel as though I have definitely been on a faith walk with God lately.  I have truly been tested to have faith - blind faith.  It's hard - the unknown - but I know God is in control and has my best interest at heart.
