January 25

Then this humanlike figure touched me again and gave me strength. He said, ‘Don’t be afraid, friend. Peace. Everything is going to be all right. Take courage. Be strong.’ “Even as he spoke, courage surged up within me. I said, ‘Go ahead, let my master speak. You’ve given me courage’". Daniel 10:18-19 (MSG)

Oh, how simple God has made a way for life to be! His strength when we are weak. His hope, comfort, and help, when we are weary. His courage that empowers when fear crowds in.

What is it that you need today, dearest one? Joy, love, peace, understanding? Patience when the days are long; the sound of His voice and heaven’s song? Ask, beauty; ask, and receive! There is no shortage in His heart of compassion and care for you. 

Don’t be afraid, of anything. Can you hear the sound of His voice even now, as He says, “Take courage, beloved, joy of My heart. I Am here for you and I will see you through”? His faithfulness lasts forever, cherished one. With you now; with you always.  His love never fails.

Dearest one, chosen and accepted in the Beloved, let His peace rest upon you, and make you whole! What more could we need? He has supplied it all!

Prayer:

Lord in my weakness; You are strong. In my lack; You fill me to overflow. Providing for me night and day—grace and mercy abound. 

I wait upon you today, Lord, in every area of need. I wait and I hope because I know You cannot lie and all that You have purposed, will come to pass.

I sing praises to Your Name, Lord, for Your greatness is unequalled. Let Your kindness overtake me even now, I pray, because of Your goodness, and for the glory of Your Name! ​
