“Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 6:34
“My Precious One,
Don’t allow the weight of the yesterday and the worry of tomorrow syphon your awareness of what I’m doing…today.
When the past and future press in, look up and ask, “Lord, where are you right now?”
Break focus from all distractions and feel my arms of peace wrap around you. Remain with me in this moment, allowing my heartbeat to lead yours. From this place of security, I’ll show you what you need to see in this present moment.
Keep your heart tethered to mine, or you’ll soon find yourself back in the throes of things you have no control over. Give the moment to me. Over. And over. And over again.
Let the freedom of letting go envelop you; for the cares of your heart are actually your Father’s burden.”

“But in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.”
2 Peter 3:13
My Precious One,
I love to whisper glimpses of our eternal future, fueling your hope for the adventure ahead.
Our time together allows me to fill you with divine vision while simultaneously bolstering your holy determination to pursue the paths I reveal.
Every time we meet, I anchor your Spirit in mine. This is me strengthening your soul and guarding your mind (and life) from everything working to steer you off course from the blessings I’ve reserved just for you.”

“In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed.
In your strength you will give them your holy dwelling.”
Exodus 15:13
My Precious One,
When you gave your heart to me, I asked if you would choose me and…you continued saying yes. Together we walked dark, scary and unfamiliar paths but my love strengthened your trust in me.
When you feel fear and uncertainty clouding your vision, focus how I’ve brought you through in the past.
Your trust in my leading gives me great joy.
There will be seasons when my voice is clear and then there will be times when I fall silent. Silence does not mean I’ve left; I’m beckoning you to rest and trust in me. Rest in my promise that I will never leave you or forsake you.
My spirit continually draws you to one destination: awareness of my presence. Be present with me and even if you don’t hear my still small voice, you will find yourself walking the steps I’ve chosen for you.

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same measurer you use, it will be measured to you.” Proverbs 29:25
My Precious One,
I enjoy the unique creation I made you to be and in that same way, I enjoy others.
When you gave me your heart, you gave me access into your inner life. As light changes the atmosphere of a dark room, my presence opens your awareness.
I am the righteous judge. I see from every angle, understanding the intent of the heart, things you may not be aware of—even in yourself!
I’m the one tapping on your heart, reminding you of who you are–not the person you were before I entered, not the person you aimed, struggled with or thought you were supposed to be.
I remind you that you were chosen. You were made in my image; an heir of royalty. You are the daughter of a mighty, loving and glorious king. As you listen to my voice, I gently lead you out of bad habits.
But remember, I walk each of my children through this life-long process. It isn’t your place to look at another and make judgments inside your heart. Everyone is suffering from the damage of sin and the trials of life. Each person has experiences to learn from, gifts to grow into and a history and circumstance to overcome. I’ve designed you to be a part of the discovery and revelation of my nature buried within.
Do not take on the nature of the evil one. Pride is the spirit ruling behind judgment. Activating judgment creates a destructive atmosphere; gentleness, patience, love and compassion cannot exist within it.
My kingdom expands when my precious ones express my nature. Your choices can either build or destroy. When pride and judgment overshadow your heart, quickly turn to me! Remember the great debt I relived you from. Let gratefulness flood your heart, pushing out everything thats not of me.
Accept my robe of humility and service. These precious gifts are the nature I’m developing within you so you can love others well.”

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27
My Precious One,
My intangible blessings are available to you! The deceived are desperate; striving, conniving and missing the undefinable which can’t be bought or acquired.
Keep this in mind–just because my peace is available, doesn’t mean you’ll automatically get it. To hold what I give, you must release fear, control and distrust.
This isn’t a nice suggestion, it’s part of your calling.
The lost are searching for my peace. When you walk above the realm of your reality (stepping into mine), you testify of the priceless serenity found only in me. Show them the way. Walk in my peace.”

“Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34
“My Precious One,
Everyday can be an exciting unfolding of my plan and presence. The enemy works to ransack spontaneity and wonder, inflicting fear (of what hasn’t happened yet). The gift of trusting in me is that it unburdens you from concerns that were never yours (to figure out)anyway.
Sometimes, the enemy will whisper responsibilities that aren’t yours to claim. If you aren’t sensitive to my spirit, you’ll automatically accept them–not considering they are optional (to accept or reject). Doing this can prompt you to go down paths saying ‘yes’ to projects that are not in aligned with my plan for you.
It can be difficult to trust me when I don’t give you the five-or-ten-year-plan. But, have you ever considered where I want to take you might be SO incredible that revealing the whole plan (in detail) would be overwhelming? I don’t want you figuring out the ‘how to’s!
Sometimes I will drop an idea in your heart to inspire you for more. As you move forward, confirmation and opportunities will begin unfolding. Let these small movements in the right direction encourage you during seasons of doubt.
Keep turning to me. Ask for what you need. Surrender worry. If you don’t, you might find yourself cemented in fear.
I am the one who prepares, strengthens, equips and directs. Freedom is always available—even in the midst of chaos because I’m the peace that passes all understanding. Hold my outstretched hand and receive all that I am. Don’t settle for pieces and glimpses of me. Bathe in the glory of all that I am, for I am fully available to you one hundred percent of the time.”
