If today you feel restless, anxious, worried, or generally not at peace, I invite you to hear the words of God:
Even if the mountains were to crumble and the hills disappear, my heart of steadfast, faithful love will never leave you, and my covenant of peace with you will never be shaken,” says YAHWEH, whose love and compassion will never give up on you. (Isaiah 54:10 TPT)
Quiet now, my child. Still your restlessness in the warmth of my embrace. This is the place I have created you for. The invitation for peace and total release from stress is always available. The reason you have days when you can’t seem to shake the relentless thoughts is because you haven’t gone far enough into love. Fall deeper, past the shackles of this world that bind you to the cares and concerns that plague you, into my arms. Become so focused on me, so filled with my love, that all fears, insecurities, questions, and frustrations melt away. Sit in my presence and find peace.
My love is powerful enough to drown out all that clamors for your attention, but you must let me overtake you. You must set time aside for first-love encounters. Only you can choose how much you will release to me. Only you can decide how far into my presence you will go. There is always more available, and I will never block the way. Trust me. Come further into my love.*
Jehovah Shalom,
Thank you for the covenant of peace you have with us. Thank you that your heart of steadfast love never leaves us, even when we are worried, anxious, fearful, or restless. Holy Spirit, tune our hearts to yours. Help us hear your Voice and follow your directions. Help us to live deeply in your Love. Help us release to you the worries, anxiety, frustration, struggles, fears, questions, and insecurities we fight. Inasmuch as it depends on us, help us to live in peace, we ask in Jesus’s name, AMEN.
If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people. (Romans 12:18 NASB)
