Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭NIV‬‬ If you settle yourself and listen for me you can hear the directions I have for you. You will hear my heart. Wash away your anxiety with my Word. It is truth. It never changes. Learn to apply to your life. Find freedom within me.

Jesus answered, It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’ Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬, ‭7‬, ‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ As you move throughout your day, don't forget me and what I have spoken to you. Replay those words. Learn them. They are truth placed within you. They will grow as you exercise the ways without fear. Walk secure, I am there. I have provided what you need.

Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭150‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Look beyond the distractions and find I have you where you are. Learn not only to see my presence, but learn to respond as I would direct you to others. Close your eyes and watch. See the way I would move through your responding. I am there with you now.

It may be that the Lord your God will hear all the words of the field commander, whom his master, the king of Assyria, has sent to ridicule the living God, and that he will rebuke him for the words the Lord your God has heard. Therefore pray for the remnant that still survives. When King Hezekiah’s officials came to Isaiah, Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid of what you have heard —those words with which the underlings of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Listen! When he hears a certain report, I will make him want to return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down with the sword.’ ” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Do not be guided by your fears. Walk with me. Follow the directions I have provided for you. My word is truth. It does not change, Follow through with what I have spoken to you. Don't be fearful. I am ever-with you.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭148‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Put aside your fears and come to me. Allow my healing t reach into those broken places and release wholeness. I am what you need. Do not be fearful, but step forward.

When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved. After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭27‬:‭19‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't allow those storms in your life guide nor distract you. Turn from your quiet complaining and use this time to come closer to me. Reach out and find my safety. Come and sit before me and be cleaned. Watch for me. I will guide you in the ways you should go. I will demonstrate my love.
