Good morning, Papa God!
Often times I have grappled with what Your will is for my life. I have often made it something much more mysterious and hard than it really is. Your will for my life is my sanctification (being made holy, set apart), to rejoice always, to pray without ceasing, in everything give You thanks, and to not quench the Holy Spirit within me. This is enough for me to work on each day, without looking for more to do. It is the Holy Spirit, living in me, that does all the above sanctifying work in me. So, Papa God, I do not concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me, like my future and what You have planned. I quiet my soul before You. The secret things, like my future, belong to You. You reveal the secret things to me when I need to know them. Until then… I trust You and follow You in that which I already know to do. Most of the time, I already know more of what to do than I am actually willing to do. Usually, what I already know to do keeps me busy enough. Papa God, there is so much I do not yet know or understand about Your will for my life. But let Your will be done on earth (beginning with me) as it is in heaven. This much I know! You are Love! Help me to discern what is Your will, Your best for my life; but, more importantly, help me to do it!
Good morning, My child!
Knowing My will for you, as you have discovered, is not very complicated. I would simply have you still before Me and wait for Me to act on your behalf, to take time to learn to live in My Presence. If you seek Me with all your heart, you will find Me – so very close to you. Cease your frenzy regarding what to do next. Will you lay down your life for My sake in the day-in and day-out routine? My Spirit is within you, enabling you to work out My will in your life. Be faithful to be still before Me, to listen to My heartbeat of love for you, and to be renewed in My Presence. Your anointing and your power comes from being still in My Presence. The reflection of Who I AM shines brightly from you the more you are in My Presence each and every day! My will is being done in and through you in what you call the small and insignificant details of your daily routine. Never doubt the truth of this! Do not despise the small and insignificant or the small beginnings. I am always at work in a life laid down for My sake. So, My child, continue to be still in My presence daily; I will renew your spirit. No matter how small that step forward may seem to you, take the step. I rejoice in small beginnings and to see the work begin.
