January 2020, Talks with God in my Kitchen –
Trust God, that He does have our best interests in mind; no matter the situation
Dear God,
It is another year, and a month is gone. Thank You for the blessings of the past year, and the expectations and then the experiences in the new months.
Job learned much through his time of affliction, and I am glad You lead me gently along, and gradually I am learning to trust and claim You as my All loving and Powerful God, during adversity, sickness and all situations. However it would seem to me, that as yet, my faith is not equal to that of Job. I ask that by Your power I could always say, Job 23: 12 “I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.”
As we are in the beginning portion of 2020, I ask dear Lord, to be strengthened in my faith and commitment to You, no matter the circumstances or event. I sincerely desire to put You first in every aspect of my life; keeping nothing back.
I am so glad that when I pray according to Your will, I am assured of Your answer To believe this is opening up my heart and mind, as all through the day I pray in many different ways, with need, request, thanks, knowing You can only answer You own words in the affirmative, and I will only receive Your blessings, by believing Your words and claiming the answer for myself. I find this a glorious truth that has been fulfilling me in my deep inner soul, more and more each day.
Also I have been asking for and receiving Your peace and rest within my mind and heart, just as the prophet wrote, Isaiah 26: 3, 4 “Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord forever; for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.”
I came this morning putting my trust in You anew. To walk in the light of Your presence is my desire and then remain in the circle of Your love, as You await You. I am lifted up by Your sweet presence in the early morning, as I feel You close, when I commune with You, in a special way.
Oh, how beautiful heaven will be to Your faithful redeemed children from all parts of the earth, for we will be with You in the glory and beauty of heaven; of which Jesus and His throne will be unsurpassed.
Amen
