DECEMBER 19



MY PRESENCE AND PEACE are inseparable: When your mind is stayed on Me—I keep you in perfect Peace. Understanding that your ability to stay focused on Me is limited, I do not expect perfection from you—only perseverance. Never give up!



Take all that I’ve taught you about directing your thoughts to Me—whispering My Name to remind you of My Presence, giving thanks, offering up brief praises and petitions—and keep practicing.



MEDITATION:

“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



“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!”

—Isaiah 26:3



“The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?”

—Proverbs 20:24



TODAY:

Entrust in our Almighty God’s word, and His promises. Pray and reflect on the life of Christ. He is our refuge, strength and eternal salvation. Emulate His loving kindness, compassion, forgiveness and mercy.



PRAY:

Father in Heaven, regardless of my circumstances I experience absolute peace in Your presence. I AM reminded of Your goodness which refreshes me with renewed hope. I humbly come before you with overflowing confidence, faith and trust. With gratitude and praise, I pray in Jesus’ name, amen!

Our hearts and souls are nourished when we have an awareness of God’s loving presence.



“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

—Romans 8:28
