Awaken. Become aware of my voice calling to you. Breathe deeply of the fragrance of my love. Draw closer to me and find what you need. The price has been paid, so draw nearer and awaken to me. Now it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you. And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new life and live in union with him! For God has re-created you all over  again in his perfect righteousness, and you now belong to him  in the realm of true holiness. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:23-24‬ ‭(TPT‬‬)

I hear your prayers. I love and provide for those who are mine. Reach out and share what I have given you. This is your opportunity to grow further in me. There is nothing you can do on your own, just trust in what I tell you. It may be in a night dream or in a passing thought. I will come to you.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me— everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:8-9‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬

Feed upon my word. I will never leave you. Pause in the midst of your weary day. I am here. Do not hurry about. I am revealing my ways.

One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High  will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” For it is He who rescues you from the net of the trapper And from the deadly plague. He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may take refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and wall. You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day; Of the plague that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that devastates at noon. A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you. You will only look on with your eyes And see the retaliation against the wicked. For you have made the LORD, my refuge, The Most High, your dwelling place. No evil will happen to you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. For He will give His angels orders concerning you,  To protect you in all your ways. On their hands they will lift you up,  So that you

I have not changed. I am ever-disclosing myself to those who seek me. Draw closer and allow me to show you the love I have for you.

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. James 1:17 (NASB2020) For God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it. He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds. ‭‭Job‬ ‭33:14-15‬ ‭(NLT) Awaken to what I have been speaking to you. I have been leaving trails for you to follow after. I have been whispering into your heart my thoughts. Awaken and stand up. Come to where I AM. Do not listen to the enemy, but allow my words to bring healing and direction. I know the way. I have much more available to you, if you seek me.  

The answer is “yes”. Move forward in what I have shown you. Do not be frightened, but walk where I have already shown you.

Shepherds were in the fields near Bethlehem. They were taking turns watching their flock during the night. An angel from the Lord suddenly appeared to them. The glory of the Lord filled the area with light, and they were terrified. The angel said to them, "Don't be afraid! I have good news for you, a message that will fill everyone with joy. Today your Savior, Christ the Lord, was born in David's city. This is how you will recognize him: “You will find an infant wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger." Suddenly, a large army of angels appeared with the angel. They were praising God by saying, "Glory to God in the highest heaven,  and on earth peace to those who have his good will” Luke 2: 8-14 (GW) Some things remain unchanged. We need Him. We often need direction to be moving the right direction. We often need the clues to help us recognize Him. But it remains true, we should not be afraid in our trek of  finding and identifying Him. He yet awaits us o

Park where I show you. Stay put and learn from me. You have your strengths in me, differing from others, as you need what they carry. Do not become lazy, but ready to move again when I show you.

For the Lord will pass through the land to strike down the Egyptians. But when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the Lord will pass over your home. He will not permit his death angel to enter your house and strike you down. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭12:23‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬ I thank you for your continued protection. May your Good News again be her Good News.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8 (NLT) Take control of what I say, O Lord, and guard my lips. Don’t let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don’t let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong. Let the godly strike me! It will be a kindness! If they correct me, it is soothing medicine. Don’t let me refuse it. But I pray constantly against the wicked and their deeds. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭141:3-5‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Draw me closer to you. Help me to recognize your ways and the pathway you created for me. Help me to speak your living word in your timing. Help me to see what you show me in my waking hours and in my sleep.

O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night— but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:1-12‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. ‭‭John‬ ‭1:1-5‬ (‭NLT) Watch where you go. Be alert and filled with my love. Reflect my love to the situation. Walk with me and become I what I see within you .

He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him,  he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. ‭‭John‬ ‭1:10-14‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Are you looking for a word from me? Why not begin with what have already told you? Why not wade through my Written word and learn my ways and lavish love for you? See how I express myself. Are you looking for me; begin by looking to me. I am there with you, leading you to the pathway. I am that light which illuminates the vast darkness of the world. I am yet the way, the truth and the light. Be secure in me and my word and I will expand your way. I will be that word which you are seeking.

Look at my Servant, whom I have chosen. He is my Beloved, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not fight or shout or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. Finally he will cause justice to be victorious. And his name will be the hope of all the world. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12:18-21‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Forgive my attitude and negligence. Help me to be more like you.

But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him. Deuteronomy 4:29 (NLT) Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (NLT) Seek after me and see if I do not answer you. Do not be discouraged. My love for you is never-changing. I have provided and am yet providing.

Listen for me, as I am speaking to you. Quiet yourself and allow me to speak directly into your life. Follow the road I show you. It will become clearer, but the pathway is steep. Allow my voice to lead you from the fog and into the light.

Father, I thank you for all you do for me. You protect from the activity and plans of the evil one. You keep me safe from myself and selfish ways. Thank you for your guidance, and ask for your everlasting peace, that knowing you are near and care for me .

In each stage of your day, look for me For I am there. I am waiting to speak to you. I see you wading through the waters. Reach out to me. I am waiting for you.

In this time I am calling out for you. I call you by the name I have given you, As my Spirit falls upon you. I am filing you again with my Spirit. I am placing my brand upon your head. You are mine. Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:20‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Be expectant to receive what I have for you. There is much within my storehouse and my library which has not yet been  shared.  There is fresh bread which I would see to be distributed. Walk in humility and distribute my peace and acceptance. Demonstrate my love so that others may come to the discoveries  I have for them.  Display my heart to draw them closer to me and  my ways for them. I have much which this world yet needs to know. They need the marvelous discoveries. They need know the plans I have yet for their lives. You need what I have placed within them. They need to grow in my love, to know of love and acceptance for them. You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead,  a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:14-15‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬ Jesus replied, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will  never be hungry again.  ‭‭John‬ ‭6:35a‬ ‭(NLT

The Lord made the stars, the Pleiades and Orion. He turns darkness into daylight and day into night. He calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the earth. His name is the Lord. ‭‭Amos‬ ‭5:8‬ (GNT‬‬) God is the one who made the mountains and created the winds. He makes his thoughts known to people; he changes day into night. He walks on the heights of the earth. This is his name: the Lord God Almighty! ‭‭Amos‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭(GNT‬‬) Let my ways become your ways. Do not fear, but listen for my direction. I am showing myself to my people. Each day seek after my heart. Each night I see you and cover you with my Spirit. Awaken to me and be blessed

You were aptly named Anne, as you have favor with the Father. His eyes are upon you, guiding your walk. He will continue to guide and protect you. Your strength is in Him. I hear him say, “I have forgiven you and gifted you to serve others. You are not disqualified. Do not try to hide behind your past failures; those you keep in secret so others will not know. I am your strength. You are qualified in me.” “Step forward and begin to work out the dream I have given you. Share with others what I show you in the night hours. Open them to the new life in me.” When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last. I am the living one. I died, but look— I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.”  Revelation 1:17-18 (NLT)

When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands. And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man. He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire. His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. He held seven stars in his right hand, and  a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance. ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1:12-16‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

And when God chooses someone and graciously imparts gifts to him, they are never rescinded. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:29‬ ‭(TPT)‬‬ Heavenly-Father-God, You alone are holy. You are the creator of all we know and all those things we do not know. Have mercy upon me. Direct my ways to be your ways. Teach me the things you would have me to learn. Grow me in mercy and the gifts you have already placed within me. Grant me dreams and visions. Help me to love others as you love me. Amen.

And there are even gifts for the family, as a whole. Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. The same Spirit gives great faith to another,  and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭12:7-11‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬

Are you wondering what to do? Consider these: In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously.  And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:6-8‬ (‭NLT‬)‬

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one. ‭‭John‬ ‭10:27-30‬ ‭(NLT)

This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:5-7‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Be bold and wrap yourself in my love. The courageous know I will never leave them. I am ever with you. As you follow-after me I will show more of myself. There will be different things  you have yet to experience.  Open the gifts I have placed within you  from the beginning.   Do not be timid, but bold in me.   Learn the strength I  have for you.  I have gone before you and am yet your rear-guard. Do not fear, but seek me. I will be found. Even this day, I speak my blessing  over your life.  Do not resist as my hands guide and direct you. Open your life  to what   I have placed for you to discover in me.

Thank you for being present when I feel so far away. Draw me closer into your ways. Allow me to experience t hat which you have  created for me.  Grow me into your ways .  Protect me from my enemies which seek to keep us apart.

I am with you. Each morning as you awaken, my presence is there. I blanket you with a purpose and tools to accomplish my ways. You are empowered by me. Lean into what I have for you. Allow me to guide you into my plan and purpose. Open your heart and awaken to me.

Do not be frightened, but believe in me. My Word is unchanging. I have known you from the beginning. My light has shown you the way. My purposes have opened doors and closed others in your life. I have created a pathway for you that is not yet completed. Continue to walk with me. Test my ways. Declare the things I have shown you. They are truth. Speak to things as if they already are. I am the healer and provider. I am the great protector. My children hear my voice and respond to it.

Father-God, You are holy. Your names are all I need.  Your ways and ideas are far above my understanding.  You alone are holy and timeless. May your kingdom ways become my ways. May the love you show me mold me into what you see within me. Forgive my shelfful and foolish ways. Help me to forgive others in your perfect love. Draw me into your ways and will. Keep me close to you, learning what you have for me to learn.   Help me to love and walk in your kingdom ways. Amen.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters.  And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.  God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1-5‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:5-6‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

You will know if this word s for you. “I Am going to call your name.” Our God approaches, and he is not silent. Fire devours everything in his way, and a great storm rages around him. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭50:3‬ (‭NLT‬‬} I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. The Lord  himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121:1-5‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬ Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you. ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31:8‬ (‭NLT‬‬ )

Look beyond what you now see with your natural eyes. Don’t be caught in the traps of deception. Have your trust in me. Move where I show you. Clean out the past disappointments. Seek me and I will continue to guide you in my ways.

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high  on wings like eagles.  They will run and not grow weary.  They will walk and not faint.  ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:31‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth,  you can say to this mountain,  ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.  I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it,  it will be yours.  ‭‭Mark‬ ‭11:22-24‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Father, Forgive me. Help me to stand upright in trusting you and walking out what I hear you whispering to me. Cleanse me of unrighteous actions and beliefs. I thank you for your fingerprints upon my life. Strengthen my way into your plan.

Wise words satisfy like a good meal; the right words bring satisfaction. The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:20-21‬ (‭NLT‬‬) Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen  and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe  that you’ve received it, it will be yours.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭11:22-24‬ ‭(NLT) Whose voice are you listening? What is it speaking? Are you following through with what you heard?

Adjust your ways and rest in me. Take your eyes from the perceived giants that taunt you, and focus your gaze upon me. I am unchanged. All things were created by me. Step forward into my ways. Rest in my shadow, ever-safe. Rely upon me, for the victories are mine. He said, “Praise the name of God forever and ever, for he has all wisdom and power. He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars. He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though he is surrounded by light. Daniel 2:20-22 (NLT) He said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow, march out against them. You will find them coming up through the ascent of Ziz at the end of the valley that opens into the wilderness of Jeruel. But yo

Teach me your decrees, O Lord; I will keep them to the end. Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions; I will put them into practice with all my heart. Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found. Give me an eagerness for your laws rather than a love for money! Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word. Reassure me of your promise, made to those who fear you. Help me abandon my shameful ways; for your regulations are good. I long to obey your commandments! Renew my life with your goodness. Lord, give me your unfailing love, the salvation that you promised me. Then I can answer those who taunt me, for I trust in your word. Do not snatch your word of truth from me, for your regulations are my only hope. I will keep on obeying your instructions forever and ever. I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments. I will speak to kings about your laws, and I will not be ashamed. How I d

Allow me to wash over you, to clear away The dirt which obscures your vision. Be filled with my presence. My guidance shall lead you into the way you should go. Next Moses placed the washbasin between the Tabernacle and the altar. He filled it with water so the priests could wash themselves. Moses and Aaron and Aaron’s sons used water from it to wash their hands and feet. Whenever they approached the altar and entered the Tabernacle, they washed themselves, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭40:30-32‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Open for me the gates where the righteous enter, and I will go in and thank the Lord. These gates lead to the presence of the Lord, and the godly enter there. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118:19-20‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Come, see the glorious works of the Lord:  See how he brings destruction upon the world. He causes wars to end throughout the earth.  He breaks the bow and snaps the spear; he burns the shields with fire. Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.  The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:8-11‬ ‭(NLT) Be still. Stop your sniping at my creation. Watch your posturing and tainting voice. Like a viper, they attack and poison you. Come into alignment with the Word. Recognize and respond to my voice. I will lead you. I will protect you. Be still and recognize me. I alone am God. Come into my submission and protection. Watch for my leading and I will grant guidance.

There are surprises for you today. Ones that will cause you to smile and other folks to feel His love and caring. But know this comes at a cost. One that has been prepaid, but another which costs you a few minutes. Those expenditures are fulfilling the goal of the kingdom. Speak encouragement to one other person and note they will be changed. Your time and effort will bring new peace to them and to you. Speak forth a new atmosphere fill the airwaves with what you have been given.

Stop listening to the accusations of the enemy. You are an over-comer. You are secure in me. Stand firm in my Word. Let it saturate your mind. Speak it’s truth over your situations. Do not examine the lies of the enemy. He comes to kill and destroy. With me there is truth and life. I am the way and the truth. Allow me to lead you.

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am ready to hear Israel’s prayers and to increase their numbers like a flock. They will be as numerous as the sacred flocks that fill Jerusalem’s streets at the time of her festivals. The ruined cities will be crowded with people once more, and everyone will know that I am the Lord. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭36:37-38‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. ‭‭James‬ ‭1:5-7‬ ‭(NLT) Look around. What do you see? Is there anything I have not created? It is all available to you.

Remember, the fire must be kept burning on the altar at all times. It must never go out. Leviticus 6:13 (NLT) Father, I thank you for your never-ending love and protection. You alone are Holy. Guide us in your pathways, help us become kingdom-directed folks. Let me not forget your ever-present mercy. Open my eyes and my heart to your guidi ng.

Watch about you, for I am there. I am wherever you may look for me. Seek me and I will show myself. Move boldly in my way, speak my truth in love. May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace. Numbers 6:24-26 (NLT) This letter is from John to the seven churches in the province of Asia. Grace and peace to you from the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come; from the sevenfold Spirit before his throne; and from Jesus Christ. He is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the ruler of all the kings of the world. All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us. ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1:4-5‬ (‭NLT)

I thank you for this new day, this new page For you to write upon my life. Keep me close to your heart so I might hear you. Guide me in your ways and direction. So the Lord God formed from the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and the man chose a name for each one. He gave names to all the livestock, all the birds of the sky, and all the wild animals. But still there was no helper just right for him. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:19-20‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) The distance around the entire city will be 6 miles. And from that day the name of the city will be ‘The Lord Is There.’ ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭48:35‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

  Each day I am here, watching over you. My hand of protection is open. I am here, wherever you go. Let there be no fear to surround you.

And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:19‬ ‭(NLT)

Each morning I am there before you awaken. I have been there in your dreams. Stop hesitating and come closer. You’ve become lazy in your expectation. Just look about you. I am there. God replied to Moses, “ I AM WHO I AM.  Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭(NLT) Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one can come to the Father except through me.  If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is.  From now on, you do know him and have seen him!” ‭‭John‬ ‭14:6-7‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

  And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Romans 8:28-29 (NLT)

Save us, O Lord our God! Gather us back from among the nations, so we can thank your holy name and rejoice and praise you. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭106:47‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

My word is truth. The third day will come and I will resurrect what you thought was dead. Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.  Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds. Exult in his holy name;  rejoice, you who worship the Lord. Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him. Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given, you children of his servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the Lord our God. His justice is seen throughout the land. He always stands by his covenant — the commitment he made to a thousand generations. This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac. He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant: “I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession.”  ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭105:1-11‬ (‭NLT)‬‬

Yes, you can still make a difference. Call upon me. Be sure I will answer.

  Fear not, but walk in the way I have prepared for you. Fear not the lies and deception of the enemy. I have already prevailed. Be sure in me. I am the pathway for righteousness. I am the way.

Don’t listen to the accusations. Those voices which come at you and against you. Listen, and you can hear me. My voices is calling to you. I am the peace and direction for you today and each next day. Take time and you will find me. I am ever-present, never-changing. “If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.” Jeremiah 29:13-14a (NLT)

Then he added, “Son of man, let all my words sink deep into your own heart first. Listen to them carefully for yourself. Then go to your people in exile and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says!’ Do this whether they listen to you or not.” Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a loud rumbling sound behind me. (May the glory of the Lord be praised in his place!) It was the sound of the wings of the living beings as they brushed against each other and the rumbling of their wheels beneath them. The Spirit lifted me up and took me away. I went in bitterness and turmoil, but the Lord’s hold on me was strong. Ezekiel 3:10-14 (NLT) As I turned the corner at a stop light I heard father-God speak to me. He said, “I have given you the green light".  I could sense his touch of healing within me. Outside there were waves of blowing snow.  I was turning right onto the cross roads of America (Route 40). Looking down the road front of me I could see five sets of turn signal l

The Lord has made the heavens his throne; from there he rules over everything. Praise the Lord, you angels, you mighty ones who carry out his plans, listening for each of his commands. Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels who serve him and do his will! Praise the Lord, everything he has created, everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am praise the Lord. Psalms 103:19-22 (NLT) So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished. Hebrews 2:1-2 (NLT)

But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, for some on Mount Zion in Jerusalem will escape, just as the Lord has said. These will be among the survivors whom the Lord has called. Joel 2:32 (NLT) For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13 (NLT) I call upon your name and ask for your forgiveness and mercy for my sins. Direct my pathway; keep me safe from others and myself. I pray for the safety of our country/leadership. Send your mercy and forgiveness, for we have sinned. Grant your forgiveness. Bring forth your ways upon our people.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 (NLT) In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 (NLT) In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. Psalm 102:25 (NLT) For the LORD is God, and he created the heavens and earth and put everything in place. He made the world to be lived in, not to be a place of empty chaos. “I am the LORD,” he says, “and there is no other. Isaiah 45:18 (NLT) But the LORD made the earth by his power, and he preserves it by his wisdom. With his own understanding he stretched out the heavens. Jeremiah 10:12 (NLT)

  Look around you. I have not left, nor am I hiding from you. Turn over the rock or climb the mountain. I will be there. I still walk upon the waves of the water. Call for me and hear me answer.

Find me, my father for I feel lost. Clouds obscure and my path. I need your clear direction. I am muffled among the past, yet not recognizing the way for this day or the next. Help me to recognize you, again.

Watch for me. You will find me and the answers you seek if you are patient. Ask me and see if I will not answer. Draw closer. There is no reason for fear. Now seek the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. Build the sanctuary of the Lord God so that you can bring the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant and the holy vessels of God into the Temple built to honor the Lord’s name. 1 Chronicles 22:19 (NLT) In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land." ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:12-14‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

You are glorious. I thank you for what you have shown me in my past. You alone are holy and worthy of praise. Have mercy upon me. Continue to show your mercy and help me be where you would sit me. Wise words are like deep waters; wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:4‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Suddenly, the glory of the God of Israel appeared from the east. The sound of his coming was like the roar of rushing waters, and the whole landscape shone with his glory. This vision was just like the others I had seen, first by the Kebar River and then when he came to destroy Jerusalem. I fell face down on the ground. And the glory of the Lord came into the Temple through the east gateway. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭43:2-4‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Like a train sitting on the tracks Right now I stand before you. Believe my word and not what you see. Right now I am speaking, to you, speaking through you to spread my light. I AM the healer. Right now I command you to speak Into your life my words. Release the Truth I have already planted.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.  Unfailing love and truth walk before you as attendants. Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, Lord. They rejoice all day long in your wonderful reputation. They exult in your righteousness. You are their glorious strength. It pleases you to make us strong. Yes, our protection comes from the Lord, and he, the Holy One of Israel, has given us our king.   Psalms 89:14-18 (NLT)

I am unchanging. My ways and my heart remain steadfast. Be confident in what I am doing. My word remains true. Yes, I have called you into my work. I have called you into freedom so others may hear my voice.  Only in me is there freedom. Fear not, but break the atmosphere with my living word. Speak what I shall tell you. Bring life. Be my deliverer. This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. Isaiah‬ ‭30:15‬ ‭(NLT) “The day is coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant, though I loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord. “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel after those days,”  says the Lord. “I will put my i

From the beginning          t he covering was formed for you,           I spoke into existence all things           you would ever need. You can still walk in that. Follow after me. I am here for you. It is the Lord who provides the sun to light the day and the moon and stars to light the night, and who stirs the sea into roaring waves. His name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, and this is what he says: “I am as likely to reject my people Israel as I am to abolish the laws of nature!” This is what the Lord says: “Just as the heavens cannot be measured and the foundations of the earth cannot be explored, so I will not consider casting them away for the evil they have done. I, the Lord, have spoken!” Jeremiah‬ ‭31:35-37‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hur

Do not listen to what the others may say, but follow me. Listen for my voice of direction and go that way. I am the way you should be going. Ask for my direction and receive it. Believe that I am active.

You are dressed in a robe of light. You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens; you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds. You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind. The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭104:2-4‬ (‭NLT‬‬) How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven’s Armies. I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the Lord. With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God. Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young at a place near your altar, O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, my King and my God! What joy for those who can live in your house, always singing your praises. Interlude ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭84:1-4‬ (‭NLT‬‬) Hi God, it’s me, Steve. Thank you  for your hand of direction which has been on my life. For keeping me safe from myself and my enemies For your ever-lasting love in your patience with me. Once again: I am askin

Training. Be patient and mimic me. Reflect upon my words. In one of the villages, Jesus met a man with an advanced case of leprosy. When the man saw Jesus, he bowed with his face to the ground, begging to be healed. “Lord,” he said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.” Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” And instantly the leprosy disappeared.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:12-13 (‭NLT) But when Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes in dismay, he sent this message to him: “Why are you so upset? Send Naaman to me, and he will learn that there is a true prophet here in Israel.” So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and waited at the door of Elisha’s house. But Elisha sent a messenger out to him with this message: “Go and wash yourself seven times in the Jordan River. Then your skin will be restored, and you will be healed of your leprosy.” But Naaman became angry and stalked away. “I thought he would certai

Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he is coming! He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with his truth. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭96:11-13‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Don’t be looking behind at what you missed or where you may have failed. But look forward. Look ahead towards me. I am leading you; directing you to the horizons I have set for you. I am here with and there with you when you arrive. There is nothing too hard for me to accomplish thru you. On the day the Lord gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the Lord in front of all the people of Israel. He said, “Let the sun stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.” So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies. Is this event not recorded

Be still. Quiet yourself and experience what I set before you. Allow my direction to show you the way. Let me expand upon what you now think you know. Breath in the peace I offer.

  I am reminded by you Father of my need. Draw me closer to you. May I not be ashamed. Turn me in the right direction. Clothe me in what you have created for me. Rekindle the fire within. The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Leviticus 6:12a (NIV)

  Wash in the water of my word, refresh yourself in me. Remove the grime which settles upon you. Dress yourself in my ways. Take off your impatient attitude and cover yourself in me.

I looked, and each of the four cherubim had a wheel beside him, and the wheels sparkled like beryl. All four wheels looked alike and were made the same; each wheel had a second wheel turning crosswise within it. The cherubim could move in any of the four directions they faced, without turning as they moved. They went straight in the direction they faced, never turning aside. Both the cherubim and the wheels were covered with eyes. The cherubim had eyes all over their bodies, including their hands, their backs, and their wings. I heard someone refer to the wheels as “the whirling wheels.” Each of the four cherubim had four faces: the first was the face of an ox, the second was a human face, the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle. Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the same living beings I had seen beside the Kebar River. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭10:9-15‬ ‭(NLT)

So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “All right,” he told them, “go and worship the Lord your God. But who exactly will be going with you?” Exodus 10:8 (NLT) When the LORD commanded the man dressed in linen, “Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood by one of the wheels. Then one of the cherubim stretched out his hand toward the fire which was among the cherubim. He took some and put it into the hands of the man dressed in linen, who took it and left. (The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.) ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭10:6-8‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Do not be distracted by the lies of the enemy. Know my word. Focus upon my ways. Do not live in fear. Learn truth and the ways of my son. He and I are the same. He is truth and light of the world. In him there is no deception. Fear not, for I am ever-present and true. Cast away all doubt and deception. Reply upon my Word. And grow in my ways. Become a reflection of me.  

When the LORD commanded the man dressed in linen, “Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood by one of the wheels. Then one of the cherubim stretched out his hand toward the fire which was among the cherubim. He took some and put it into the hands of the man dressed in linen, who took it and left. (The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.) ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭10:6-8‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Learn my expectation. Be patient and love those I love. I will show you what is important if you are patient in asking. Receive me, as I am ready By the seventh day God finished the work that he had been doing, and he ceased on the seventh day all the work that he had been doing. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it he ceased all the work that he had been doing in creation. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:2-3‬ ‭(NET‬‬)  

I have planted my seed within you. If you listen,  you can hear me. Watch for me and there I will be. I am drawing you to me. I am calling your name to come closer. In you times of quiet you will sense me, as you grow in my ways. I have called you to speak my word to those I direct to you. Then the spirit of the LORD will rush upon you and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a different person. 1 Samuel 10:6 (NET)

Then the glory of the LORD arose from the cherub and moved to the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud while the court was filled  with the brightness of the LORD’s glory. The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard from the outer court, like the sound of the sovereign God when he speaks. Ezekiel 10:4-5 (NET) I am the only truth and the only light. What I have shown you in the past remains true. I am unchanging. I have not changed my thoughts for you. Nor have my plans for you been altered. You are mine. My light shines from within you. My word will continue to direct you. There is a table directly in front of you. Sit with me and receive what I offer. Each day, come to me and seek my face. I am yet what you are searching.

  T hey will ask you how you’re doing and will give you two loaves of bread. You will accept them. 1 Samuel 10:4 (NET )

The LORD bless you and protect you; The LORD make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27 (NET) As one season ends, another is already beginning. They will ask you how you’re doing and will give you two loaves of bread. You will accept them. ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭10:4‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

Then the Lord said to me, “Look, Jeremiah! What do you see?” And I replied, “I see a branch from an almond tree.” And the Lord said, “That’s right, and it means that I am watching, and I will certainly carry out all my plans.” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (NLT) Watch where you walk and where you set your feet. Be slow to judge those you see. They too are mine. They are of great value to my kingdom. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)  

Be prepared. I am about to show myself to you. I am about to reveal aspects of me you have yet to experience or recognize. Come with an expectation that I am answering your questions, but not as how you will expect. I will reveal my heart. Will you be ready to recognize me?

I am with you now. In every new day I am there. I am your protection and direction. I am what you continue to search for. Learn to recognize my ways. Listen for me and soak in my presence. O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen on your walls; they will pray day and night, continually. Take no rest, all you who pray to the Lord. Give the Lord no rest until he completes his work, until he makes Jerusalem the pride of the earth. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭62:6-7‬ ‭(NLT)

This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls.“ ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭6:16 (‭NLT) I am ever-watching over you. Cast aside the fear which cloaks around you. Learn my ways. My names will demonstrate my ways of love for you. I will show you what you have yet to learn.

This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16 (NLT) “If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land. Jeremiah 29:13-14 (NLT)

If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:13-14‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭4:20‬ (‭NASB)

Sit with me. Take the time to allow yourself to acknowledge me. Quiet your mind. Don’t settle for what the world gives you, but come to come. Allow my radiance to rest upon you. Be healed. Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭68:19‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

 Do not live in fear. Listen for me and hear me, and not the lies of the enemy would have you believe. My word is truth. My way casts out fear; it bring healing.

When the poor and needy search for water and there is none, and their tongues are parched from thirst, then I, the Lord, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will never abandon them. I will open up rivers for them on the high plateaus. I will give them fountains of water in the valleys. I will fill the desert with pools of water. Rivers fed by springs will flow across the parched ground. I will plant trees in the barren desert— cedar, acacia, myrtle, olive, cypress, fir, and pine. I am doing this so all who see this miracle will understand what it means — that it is the Lord who has done this, the Holy One of Israel who created it. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41:17-20‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

O Zion, messenger of good news, shout from the mountaintops! Shout it louder, O Jerusalem. Shout, and do not be afraid. Tell the towns of Judah, “Your God is coming!” Yes, the Sovereign Lord is coming in power. He will rule with a powerful arm. See, he brings his reward with him as he comes. He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:9-11‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Hear me. Hear my Words. Let go of your past and move forward with me. Release those thoughts and words which bind to you. Come out of the bondage of self-expectation. You are mine. I have a plan for your life in my kingdom. Allow me to speak through you. Allow me to speak to you. Listen for me and follow after me. Move where I lead you, even when you’ve never been this way. I am your road-map. Follow after me. I am the pathway you have sought after. Hear me today. Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give g

Listen for me. I am trying to get your attention. Come closer. I am what you need. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:9-11‬ ‭(NLT)

Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:25‬ ‭(NLT)

Each day I am here. Look for me, I am calling out your name. Quiet yourself, the I AM is here now with you. Fear not, but make room for me. Quiet your ways, I desire to speak with you. I will whisper my plans to you, if you are willing to listen. In this way, they traveled and camped at the Lord’s command wherever he told them to go. Then they remained in their camp as long as the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle. ‭‭Numbers‬ ‭9:18‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬ Just then Saul approached Samuel at the gateway and asked, “Can you please tell me where the seer’s house is?” “I am the seer!” Samuel replied. “Go up to the place of worship ahead of me. We will eat there together, and in the morning I’ll tell you what you want to know and send you on your way.” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭9:18-19‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Hello God, This is me. I am asking again, for your clear direction. To again sense and know your very presence in my life. I thank you for things past and present. I thank you for things seen and unseen. You have been my protector and supplier for longer than I am aware, And I ask for your continuance in my life. Let me forget not your love. Amen.  

I am your security. Seek me and I will be found. My ways are steadfast and secure. Spend time with me and learn to know my ways. Learn my ways. Feed upon my word. I will not desert you, for you are my creation. Fear not, for I am your security. Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:1-3‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬

Come closer. Find my peace. Allow it to be layered through your life. Draw closer.. Where can you escape to that I will not already be there?  Hide yourself in the safety of my shadow. The rain and snow come down from the heavens  and stay on the ground to water the earth.  They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer  and bread for the hungry.  It is the same with my word.  I send it out, and it always produces fruit.  It will accomplish all I want it to,  and it will prosper everywhere I send it. Isaiah 55:10-11 (NLT)

Look for me.  I will show myself. What are you going to do with what I show you? Are you prepared? The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit.  It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:10-11‬ (‭NLT)

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by. I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. He will send help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me. Interlude My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness. I am surrounded by fierce lions who greedily devour human prey— whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows, and whose tongues cut like swords. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens! May your glory shine over all the earth. My enemies have set a trap for me. I am weary from distress. They have dug a deep pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises! Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song. I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your

I will bless the Lord who guides me;  even at night my heart instructs me.  I know the Lord is always with me.  I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭16:7-8‬ ‭(NLT)

Pause.  Listen for my sound of direction. I will give clear instruction as to what is needed. Do not be reactive, but wait for my direction, Not acting in fear. Fear not what you see. Trust in me. Continue. I will direct needed changes.
