There comes a time when we must say yes. There comes a time when we not resist. There comes a time under heaven, when we turn away from selfish things and turn to Him. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He IS the Way to the Father. He prays without ceasing on our behalf, and yet sometimes we laugh…and say, “I can do it.” Let’s be clear about who’s who in this sacred relationship. Who The Source is.
As we prepare for the day ahead, we best make sure He is at the head. Time with and before Jesus, is the best preparation. We are wise if we get our “marching orders” from the One who created us. The One who created the heavens and the earth, is the One who is certainly capable of overseeing our lives.
Our part is to trust Him, and to not lean on our own understanding. For He understands our beginning and our end.

Today, I encourage you to be mindful of your prayers before God; that way, when the answer shows up you will know it. But until the answer comes, you know He’s on your side, and is bringing to past His plan and purpose for your life. Why does God do this?
Because He loves you. You are His child, and nothing can separate you from His wise, life-giving love. You are His most beloved child. Ephesians 2:10, tells us how God sees us: “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Wow, you are God’s masterpiece! This is the destiny of each and everyone who comes to say “Yes” to our Lord and Savior.
Blessings,
Jacquie ♥

I have just started to keep a prayer journal. God answer some prayer request so quickly that its impossible not to know it was God. So I am thinking there are a lot of other answered prayers (one way or the other) and I would like to be mindful of them. Also i have started turning my afternoons after work over to God. Specifically that time of day because it is hard for me and I always want to nap. But God has been working on me to fast from excessive sleep. So Now i am asking Him what I should be doing.

Thanks for sharing Kate. I’m grateful for the relationship we have with Jesus, He makes all things possible. The fact that you are giving Him that difficult time in the afternoon is the best thing you can do. He will guide you in love. Blessings as you continue to trust the One who loves you best and most. 💕
